2.3: FedExperience
Encourage retiring baby boomers to pursue encore careers with the federal government. Other Information:
The logic behind this project is that just as thousands of civil servants will be leaving government in the coming years,
millions of boomers will be retiring from jobs in the private and nonprofit sectors. These “retirees” are healthy and well-educated.
According to multiple surveys, the majority of them also want to continue working, and they are particularly interested in
jobs where they can serve the greater good. The first phase of this project, funded by a grant from The Atlantic Philanthropies
and now underway, is research on the feasibility of attracting older Americans to government. After the research, we plan
to conduct pilot projects with selected federal agencies.
