About this episode

Nick interviews Scott Kupor about the initiatives to reform the federal workforce and attract young talent to government roles.

Nick sits down with Scott Kupor, Director of the Office of Personnel Management, to pull back the curtain on what is really happening inside one of Washington's most overlooked agencies. They dig into Tech Force, the administration's bold initiative to recruit a thousand young tech workers into government, and what it will take to fix a federal workforce where only 7% of employees are under 30. They also break down Schedule Policy Career (formerly Schedule F), why eliminating degree and tenure requirements could transform federal hiring, and why Scott believes the federal government should become the best two-year analyst program in the country. This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how the civil service is being reimagined and the perfect episode to inaugurate American Moment’s fifth year of changing the way D.C. does staffing.
