Description

It's no secret that the Government's IT is falling behind, but most don't realize that so is our workforce. Today, nearly 20% of the federal workforce is eligible for retirement. Our government doesn't just need a technology movement, it needs a technologists movement — pathways to bring in hundreds (if not thousands) more designers, innovators, data scientists, and technologists into the public sector workforce and to support those in government already. This panel will share and uncover how public interest technology thought leaders are working together to reimagine the technical talent pipeline and build a 21st century civic tech workforce.
