The kickoff event highlighted the launch of Phase II of the Partnership’s three-year pilot project focusing on the recruitment, hiring, and onboarding of entry-level talent in mission-critical occupations. Participating federal agencies discussed strategies to build talent pipelines, develop innovative approaches to branding and messaging on college campuses, and adopt best practices from the public, private, and non-profit sectors.

The IT recruitment program is phase two of the three focuses in the FedRecruit program. Earlier this year, the Partnership launched a pilot focused on the recruitment and retention of entry-level acquisition professionals. The third phase will focus on nursing and public health professionals.

The CCA would like input on what three things are most important in the effort to retain top IT talent?
