“Profiles in Public Service” tells stories about unsung public servants who drive government’s most important accomplishments. Our guests include both federal employees and those who directly benefit from their leadership and innovation to demonstrate what federal services and support can mean for local communities. In an age when people continue to hold negative views about government—but also rely on it to solve big problems and crises—the stories we share promise to rebuild faith in the public institution most critical to our democracy.

Government's Next Generation

Most young people do not understand the full breadth of government jobs available—or that there are public service careers for nearly every academic major and course of study. In this episode, Partnership for Public Service President and CEO Max Stier moderates a conversation at the 2022 SXSW EDU conference on the federal government’s talent ecosystem and how to recruit and retain the next generation of public servants. Listeners will hear from three incredible speakers working in the federal government and career services about how young people can find their entry point into the public sector and how federal leaders can reduce barriers to working in public service, particularly for underrepresented groups including those with disabilities.

Episode speakers include:

Kiran Ahuja, the director of the Office of Personnel Management Director who leads recruitment and talent management for the federal government and its more than 2 million employees.
Tara Duprey, a career and professional development leader at George Washington University’s Center for Career Services.
Callie Higgins, a materials research engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Higgins is a winner of the 2021 Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals'® Emerging Leader award, given to young federal employees who make important contributions early in their federal careers.
