Trump Admin Rolls Out Elite US ‘Tech Force’ To Overhaul Federal Bureaucracy

The Trump administration is launching a new “Tech Force,” a government-wide initiative designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in the government and secure American technological dominance, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) announced Monday.

The Tech Force will recruit top engineers, data scientists, and technologists from leading 💻Technology companies to work across agencies on AI projects within the federal government, according to the OPM. By embedding AI experts directly into federal agencies, the administration seeks to modernize government infrastructure, improve services, and recruit top early-career talent, according to OPM.

“This is a clarion call,” OPM Director Scott Kupor said in a statement. “If you want to help your country lead in the age of AI, we need you.”

“The US Tech Force offers the chance to build and lead projects of national importance, while creating powerful career opportunities in both public service and the private sector,” Kupor added.

OPM plans to recruit a cohort of 1,000 early-career candidates with technical expertise for a two-year program, matching participants with positions across federal agencies, primarily focused on modernization, Kupor told reporters Monday. Participants will receive training from private-sector partners and work on “mission-critical” projects, with the opportunity to transition into permanent positions within both the federal government and the private sector after the program concludes.

The Tech Force will partner with around 25 leading 💻Technology companies, including Amazon Web Services, Adobe, Dell Technologies, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, Palantir and xAI, with plans to expand the list over time, according to OPM.
