If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
The Trump administration launched the U.S. Tech Force initiative late last year to recruit early-career software and data engineers for government roles, following the dismissal of nearly 20,000 technology workers through workforce downsizing. However, the effort has made minimal progress, onboarding only 10 technologists so far against a goal of 1,000 hires. The initiative aims to infuse the government with young engineers, cybersecurity, and data workers to rebuild depleted tech talent.
