From Tech to Gov: Fresh Opportunities for tech Talent in Gov
Description:
For technologists, joining the Federal government is not just about shaping the future, but transforming how government serves real people right now. The government needs tech talent: only 4% of the IT workforce is under 30 and emerging technologies like Generative AI only make this more urgent. In response, the Federal government is launching a “Tech to Gov” initiative to recruit and empower tech talent. This panel would combine insights from two senior officials, a young innovator in government, and an external executive perspective to discuss the pitfalls and promise of tech in government.
