Workday Joins U.S. Tech Force to Help Strengthen the Federal Government’s Technology Workforce for the AI Era

Partnership Will Help Federal Agencies Build and Develop Technology Talent

PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 15, 2025 - Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, today announced its participation as a strategic partner in the U.S. Tech Force (USTF), a White House-backed initiative designed to help the federal government recruit and develop a stronger, more modern technology workforce as agencies take on increasingly complex AI and digital priorities.

The U.S. Tech Force is a two-year rotational program that recruits early-career engineers from colleges and trade schools and pairs them with experienced technology leaders from the private sector. The initiative was created in response to a widening talent gap between government and commercial organizations. While early-career professionals make up roughly 20% of the private-sector workforce, they account for just 7% of the federal workforce, leaving agencies short of the modern engineering, AI, and technical leadership skills needed to meet today's demands.

Workday brings extensive experience helping some of the world's largest and most complex organizations find, develop, and deploy talent-by focusing on skills and capabilities, rather than relying solely on job titles, résumés, or degrees. This approach helps organizations better understand what skills they need today and how those needs will evolve over time.

For government agencies, a skills-focused approach makes it easier to match people to mission-critical technology and AI work, while supporting continuous learning so government employees can build new capabilities as priorities change.

Through Workday Government Cloud, agencies can bring workforce data together in one place, gain a clearer view of existing skills and gaps, and make more informed decisions about hiring, development, and workforce planning-all while meeting the security and compliance requirements of the public sector.

"Workday is proud to be a strategic partner to the U.S. Tech Force, an initiative redefining how the government recruits and develops talent for the AI era," said Carl Eschenbach, CEO, Workday. "By building a modern, skills-based pipeline, the U.S. Tech Force is laying the foundation for meaningful national impact, and Workday is committed to helping accelerate that mission."

As a strategic partner, Workday will collaborate with the U.S. Tech Force to help equip federal workers with the skills needed to succeed in the AI era - supporting a modern, scalable approach to developing technical talent in service of the American people.
