WASHINGTON, DC <\/strong>\u2013 Early-career Americans invited to OPM\u2019s first-ever Serve America: Early Careers Hiring Fair<\/em> on October 29 will interview virtually with federal agencies for job opportunities across the country. Candidates who meet agency requirements may receive tentative offers.<\/p>\n

The virtual event is the first in a planned series of hiring fairs connecting early-career candidates with federal hiring teams. It supports OPM\u2019s broader effort to bring more than 30,000 early-career Americans into federal service and advances the Administration\u2019s Merit Hiring Plan. OPM\u2019s fiscal year 2027 staffing guidance sets a governmentwide target for early-career talent to make up at least 33 percent of new external hires, or roughly one in three.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn October 29, early-career Americans will have the chance to interview directly with federal agencies for opportunities across the country, including in fields like human resources, finance, and procurement,\u201d said OPM Director Scott Kupor<\/strong>. \u201cCandidates who meet agency requirements may receive a tentative offer. We are opening more doors for talented Americans to build meaningful careers serving their country. This is the first of many opportunities to connect them with federal service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The October 29 fair is invitation-only. Invited candidates should follow the scheduling instructions provided to them.<\/p>\n

Americans interested in federal careers can explore career paths and join the Early Career Talent Network <\/strong>to learn about future opportunities at EarlyCareers.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n
