The Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit located in Washington, D.C., expects that about one-third of the federal government’s 2 million workers will retire or leave public service within five years.

This pilot program will start with the U.S. Department of Treasury which expects to have 14,000 key jobs open in the next two years.  About half are with the Internal Revenue Services. 

IBM Corp is pairing with the Partnership for Public Service to form an initiative to transition experienced employees to move onto new jobs with the federal government.  The pilot program will begin in July  and will focus on IBM retirees and employees nearing retirement.
