That\u2019s in addition to the program\u2019s existing recruitment efforts for software engineers, data scientists and product managers.The cybersecurity positions will focus on protecting critical systems, strengthening federal cybersecurity capabilities, and safeguarding the digital infrastructure.\u201cThrough Tech Force, we\u2019re recruiting highly skilled cybersecurity professionals to take on real challenges and strengthen the government\u2019s defenses where it matters most,\u201d said OPM Director Scott Kupor.OPM said it\u2019s coordinating with federal agencies to recruit a broad range of cybersecurity talent, including potential employees already participating in the CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Program.\u00a0It\u2019s not clear yet how cybersecurity hires will be made.

It also provides information on specialization areas such as employee development, employee relations, benefits, labor relations, recruitment, and more.It\u2019s part of the \u201cFederal HR 2.0\u201d initiative to centralize and streamline federal HR programs.\u00a0OPM notes that while the site itself is not a training program, it\u2019s working to establish a standardized HR training and certification program governmentwide.\u00a0
