Supporting Federal Employees Through Change (Partnership for Public Service)

Right now, there are a lot of questions swirling around about what it means to be a federal employee, and the role of the career workforce.

They have been around for more than 20 years, to support you–the federal employee–so you can continue to serve the public and uphold your oath of office.

We encourage our Evans community involved in federal service to browse the resources on their Federal Employee Resource Hub or join their webinars in the Federal Employee Explainer Series. You can also view webinar recordings.
