Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Talent Initiative

The Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence Talent Initiative is a selective fellowship program designed to recruit, train and retain a world-class digital workforce for the federal government. The program aims to address the estimated 600,000 shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the United States and prepare leaders for an AI-powered future. Fellows selected for the program will be placed at a federal agency with cybersecurity needs for two years, where they will gain vital public sector work experience, develop leadership skills, and build a cross-sector network of technology professionals. During their placement, participants will receive comprehensive professional development opportunities, mentorship from senior leaders in both public and private sectors, and networking opportunities with program alumni and partners. By working for leading federal agencies, participants will develop the skills and knowledge to strengthen the nation's cybersecurity and artificial intelligence capabilities and help build a digital economy of the future. The program is operated by the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better government and stronger democracy.
