Join us on Friday, July 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. EDT for a panel on national security during the vulnerable period between a presidential election and the inauguration. The incumbent administration must share security information with incoming leaders, whether new or re-elected. Given the increasing political polarization and declining trust in government, mitigating these risks is essential. The Partnership’s Center for Presidential Transition® and Lockheed Martin will host a bipartisan discussion with national security experts such as Former Deputy Secretary Elaine Duke and Former Principal Deputy Director Sue Gordon. Join us to discover how federal agencies can maintain security and continuity during uncertain times and learn the importance of responsibly sharing national security information during a presidential transition.

🔍 A new analysis from the Partnership highlights various aspects of the federal workforce, including employment demographics, hiring trends, and other statistics. Key Highlights: 📈 The largest increase in the federal workforce occurred in 2023, with an addition of over 80,000 federal employees, pushing the size of the full-time, permanent federal workforce to over 2 million employees. 📍 At the end of fiscal 2023, 80% of the federal workforce was located outside the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan area. The locations with the largest federal employee populations were Washington, D.C., Virginia, California, Maryland, Texas and Florida. 🕰️ In fiscal 2023, the federal workforce was older than the American workforce at large. 7.4% of federal employees were under 30, compared to 19.8% in the U.S. labor force. With this data, members of the public, federal stakeholders, media and others can gain insights into the composition, size and dynamics of federal employment trends, enabling them to make informed decisions and develop policies related to the federal workforce.

The Supreme Court’s decision today undermines the ability of expert, nonpartisan public servants to effectively address the critical issues facing our country. Eliminating the longstanding principle of "Chevron deference" erodes the foundation of our government’s effectiveness by stripping federal agencies of their power to interpret and implement ambiguous statutes. Federal agencies staffed by dedicated public servants with specialized experience and expertise and chosen on merit are a cornerstone of our democracy. The clear result of today’s decision will be a government that is less effective, less responsive, and less equipped to respond to the demands of the public. In the wake of this decision, Congress must seek ways to clarify the role of agencies in the rule-making process and ramp up its internal regulatory expertise to end the uncertainty created by this ruling. https://lnkd.in/ebyhnxQf

Accenture Federal Services and the Partnership recently hosted a Talent Acquisition Boot Camp in Washington, D.C., focusing on early career talent through sessions on internships, apprenticeships, recruitment, and data analytics. With only 7% of the federal workforce under 30, it's critical for agencies to strategically develop programs that attract, engage, and convert young professionals. If you're ready to place the right people in the right roles, it's time to adopt a more creative and comprehensive approach to recruitment and retention. https://bit.ly/3ROtvFF #TalentAcquisition #FederalWorkforce #EarlyCareer
