THE PROBLEM

For decades, inefficiencies and failures in the American public sector labor market have stifled the human capital management efforts of U.S. federal, state, local, and education departments, agencies, and partners and precluded many citizens, especially those from historically disadvantaged and marginalized (e.g., low-income, rural, minority, etc.) backgrounds, from answering the call to public service.

 

FOR EMPLOYERS

We understand the bureaucratic challenges you experience as a public sector employer:

→ Inability to succesfully market careers
→ Slow recruiting processes
→ Aging workforce (i.e., “silver tsunami”)
→ Qualified talent shortages
→ Increased labor market competition

FOR APPLICANTS

We understand the systemic barriers you must overcome as an aspiring public sector leader:

→ Limited exposure to career opportunities
→ Difficulty navigating outdated hiring systems
→ Inability to tear the “paper ceiling”
→ Unrealistic prior experience requirements
→ Lack of real-world training opportunities
