John Smith Fellows often work in governance (national and local), public administration, the media, civil society, law, and social enterprise. However, they can also come from other fields if a clear link can be made to the JST themes. For example, in recent years, there have also been successful applicants from the fields of environmental protection, public health, community cohesion, urban planning and rural development to name just a few.
