Description: Federal employment isn’t as secure as it once seemed. In recent years, federal workers have faced layoffs, furloughs, reassignments, relocations, and hiring freezes—challenges that have disrupted careers and organizational stability. Yet for many, public service remains a deeply rewarding career path.
This webinar is designed to equip career coaches and counselors with the latest insights into the shifting federal employment landscape. You’ll learn about recent changes to federal hiring practices, application requirements, and how you can help those seeking entry into federal service. Our expert presenter tracks these ongoing changes closely and will offer practical strategies to help you guide your clients toward meaningful, resilient careers in government.
Emphasis will be placed on GS employment, but our speaker can answer some questions on SES requirements.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
Review the current status of workers in various federal agencies and what to expect in the future.
Apply the new rules and expectations for federal employment applications.
Convey how applications are evaluated and selections are made.
