The Trump administration has launched an initiative to hire 1,000 engineers for two-year assignments within federal government agencies, according to a government website viewed by Reuters on Monday. The campaign targets professionals with expertise in software engineering, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data analytics, with most positions based in Washington, D.C.
The program is designed to place participants directly inside government agencies, giving them hands-on experience while contributing to the modernization of federal technology systems. Private companies, including Apple, Google, and Nvidia, have pledged to consider alumni of the program for future employment opportunities, according to the website.
Officials describe the initiative as part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to reshape government agencies by bringing in specialized tech talent and strengthening the federal workforce in critical technological fields.
