John Berry Lecture: Over the Horizon -- the Future Federal Workforce
(Greater Washington DC Metro Area)
From fighting wildfires to working in veterans hospitals to landing robots on Mars, federal workers protect, serve, and inspire. As a generation approaches retirement on an unprecedented scale, the federal government is recruiting students and reforming its hiring practices to meet the challenges the nation will face in the upcoming century.
John Berry, director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, will speak about current trends in the federal workforce and what the federal government is doing to prepare for the future. In his position, Berry is responsible for recruiting, hiring, and setting benefits policies for 1.9 million federal civilian employees. He is working closely with partners both inside and outside of government to fulfill President Barack Obama's charge to "make government cool again" by developing flexible, results-oriented human resources policies and working to change how Americans view their public servants.
Virginia Tech faculty, students, and their guests are invited to attend.
