What sets the Tech Force apart from most federal positions is its accessibility. According to the program’s website, candidates need not hold traditional degrees or meet minimum experience thresholds, though they must demonstrate strong technical skills through work experience, projects, or certifications. According to the Tech Force website’s FAQ section, the only “essential” skills are “strong problem-solving abilities and a passion for public service.”?

The context for this initiative is the Trump administration has been working to rebuild technical capacity after the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE), led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the time, orchestrated the departure of about 260,000 government employees through buyouts, early retirements, or terminations. Among those cuts were technology-focused programs including the entire 18F digital consulting group and substantial portions of the U.S. Digital Service, which President Barack Obama established in 2014 to modernize government tech.?

You can make up to $200K working in Trump’s new 'Tech Force'—and you don’t need a degree or work experience

Not surprising. They're trying to hire back people DOGE laid off. During his first term, the government bloat was in the number of government contractors where the headcount went up by 2 million employees.
