Federal Recruitment

The State Department’s Office of Security Technology is recruiting cybersecurity and computer science professionals through universities, laboratories, the military, and industry. Paid internships and overseas experience offer talent-development pathways, while difficult overseas postings and a broad threat environment underscore workforce challenges across more than 450 facilities; no procurement or award was announced.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is reforming federal recruitment methods, including removing degree requirements and adjusting pay scales to attract early-career tech talent. These changes aim to enhance accountability and retain skilled professionals essential for government modernization efforts.
