Coinbase and Robinhood Join US Government’s New Tech Force Initiative
- The US government launched the “Tech Force” to address skills gaps in AI, cybersecurity, and software engineering.
- Coinbase and Robinhood are among nearly 30 private sector partners, including major firms like Apple and Nvidia.
- The initiative aims to recruit about 1,000 early-career candidates for federal agencies such as the Treasury and IRS.
- Approximately only 7% of the US government workforce consists of early-career employees with five to seven years of experience.
- Private sector partners will provide training, while tech teams will be funded by respective agencies.
The Tech Force initiative reflects a growing need for expertise in cryptocurrency and technology as they become integral to government operations. The program also aims to facilitate career transitions for participants into the private sector after their terms.
