What an incredible day last week celebrating the graduation of our first cohort of USDC Fellows! 🎉 We were thrilled to be joined by GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan and U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Deputy Chief of Staff Margot Conrad who both spoke about the USDC's importance in recruiting early-career technologists to public service and incubating their careers to meet the challenges of today and those still to come. With a 97% two-year retention rate and 95% of Fellows planning to stay in civil service roles across government — we are empowering the next generation of civic technologists. The ceremony also featured Fellow speakers Kira Tebbe, Jamila Crawford, Jonathan Hart, and Kathleen Carroll, as well as a demo by Anjenica "Nikki" Ramos of her work supporting U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. We can't wait to see what our Fellows will do in the future! https://lnkd.in/ey3tY5FS
