The US government is stepping up its tech game with a bold new initiative called the Tech Force. The program will bring around 1,000 skilled technology professionals into federal agencies for two-year assignments, giving the government a much-needed boost in artificial intelligence (AI), digital services, and software modernization.
Managed by the Office of Personnel Management, Tech Force roles offer competitive salaries ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 a year, along with standard benefits. Officials say the program is designed to be flexible, giving specialists hands-on experience in government while also allowing them to explore opportunities in the private sector after their tenure.
Several leading tech companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Google Public Sector, Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, and Meta, are partnering in the initiative. They will provide training, mentorship, and temporary placements, helping participants navigate complex government projects while sharing real-world expertise from the private sector.
The initiative is non-partisan and aims to modernize government operations, improve public services, and strengthen the U.S.’s position in global technology and AI. Experts say this approach could transform how federal agencies operate, making them faster, smarter, and more responsive to citizens’ needs.
With the Tech Force, the government hopes to close the gap between private-sector innovation and public-sector execution, giving the country a strong footing in the rapidly evolving world of AI and emerging technologies.
