Trump's AI hiring campaign draws interest from 25,000 hopefuls
Tech Force aims to recruit 1,000 early-career engineers to support federal AI projects despite recent government workforce reductions, officials said.
- Roughly 25,000 hopefuls expressed interest Tuesday in joining Tech Force, the Trump administration's cadre to place artificial intelligence expertise in federal roles.
- As part of its AI agenda, the Trump administration's hiring drive follows previous presidential tech-recruiting initiatives, including those by former President Joe Biden.
- Candidates will vie for 1,000 spots in the first cohort, and Scott Kupor said the administration will use the candidate list to recruit software and data engineers and other tech roles.
- Selected recruits will serve two-year assignments working on technology projects inside federal agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security, Veterans Affairs and Justice.
- The effort departs from the administration's downsizing push, as Tech Force marks an exception for national security under President Donald Trump's broader downsizing campaign.
