White House

Do white house fellows choose the department they work in?

Or is it chosen for them? It just seems like a lot of white house fellows work in departments somewhat disparate from their professional background!
Any help will be very much appreciated!

They are recruited or apply for jobs in a certain department. So yes they select where they join the white house, the rest is all up to how both sides turn out.
