"President Donald Trump will recruit workers from Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and other tech giants to form the US Tech Force, a new program that aims to "modernize the federal government," according to an announcement on Monday. Under the new program, Trump plans to hire around 1,000 technology specialists to work across federal agencies for an up to two-year period. Workers can then pursue employment with the companies partnering with Tech Force, or apply to continue working for the government."
"The Tech Force will work to "accelerate the use of AI" to make the government "more responsible and efficient," as well as develop apps and modernize data systems. In addition to nabbing workers from Big Tech companies, the Tech Force will hire "early career candidates." Adobe, AMD, OpenAI, Robinhood, Uber, Nvidia, xAI, Zoom, and others will also participate in the program."

The Tech Force will also hire early-career candidates and includes partners such as Adobe, AMD, OpenAI, Robinhood, Uber, Nvidia, xAI, and Zoom. The recruitment follows prior reductions in federal tech staffing and represents a public–private effort to modernize federal IT and talent pipelines.
