US Government Launches 'Tech Force' to Recruit AI Talent for Federal Modernization
The US government, under the Trump administration, has initiated a new program called the 'US Tech Force' aimed at recruiting technology and artificial intelligence professionals into public sector roles. This initiative, led by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), seeks to address a talent gap in government agencies by hiring 1,000 early career software engineers, data scientists, project managers, and AI experts. The program is part of a broader effort to modernize government systems and enhance US competitiveness in the global tech landscape. Participants will work on various projects across different agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Internal Revenue Service, with the program concluding in a job fair offering both public and private sector opportunities.
