The Trump administration has launched an unusual new hiring initiative that marks a sharp departure from traditional government recruitment: the U.S. Tech Force, a program that requires no college degree and no minimum work experience for technology professionals willing to serve two-year stints in federal agencies. And if you get in, you can expect to make anywhere from $150,000 up to $200,000.
The program, announced by the Office of Personnel Management on Monday, aims to recruit approximately 1,000 engineers, data scientists, and AI specialists to work on what officials describe as critical technology projects across the government. Participants, called “fellows,” will tackle assignments including AI implementation, application development, and data modernization. You can apply right here.
