Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has taken a number of steps to help the state’s 220,000-plus federal workers affected by recent layoffs, firings and changes to federal funding.
Most recently, Gov. Moore announced a new partnership with Work for America that his administration hopes will continue to advance those efforts.
Gov. Moore announced the new partnership in a recent statement, noting that, through Work for America’s Civic Match talent matching platform, “experienced federal workers and public servants will have more targeted connection to state and local government jobs.”
As part of the alliance, the State of Maryland will post jobs on the Civic Match portal. The state will also assist Maryland counties in partnering with Civic Match to connect federal workers to additional opportunities on the local level, according to the statement.
“This new partnership with Work for America is about recruiting and retaining the best public servants in the country, who want to continue their service with our state,” said Gov. Moore. “Maryland is mobilizing, and this generational opportunity will help us bridge the employment gap, grow our economy, and protect the people of our state. Together, we will leave no one behind.”
Maryland has also been named Work for America’s first “Spotlight State,” meaning that Maryland’s state labor force will be prioritized as a premier option for vetted candidates who are looking to continue their careers in public service.
“This is a moment in history when we must keep great public servants in public service,” said Work for America Executive Director Caitlin Lewis, in a statement.
“As our first Spotlight State, the Moore-Miller Administration is making Maryland a national leader in ensuring mission-driven professionals continue serving where they’re needed most.”
