The US government has launched a major initiative, the ‘US Tech Force,’ to recruit top engineers and technology experts for critical roles across federal agencies.

This new program is specifically designed to address skills gaps in emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), software engineering, and cybersecurity. The initiative involves recruiting technologists for defined, two-year terms to work on high-impact projects aimed at modernizing government systems and accelerating AI adoption.

A key feature is the collaboration with major private-sector technology companies, which will provide mentorship and training to the recruits, fostering a pathway between public service and the private sector. The ‘US Tech Force’ is positioned as a call to service to secure the nation’s technological leadership and deliver more efficient digital services to the public.
