COVID-19 Bright Spots

Amid an ongoing global pandemic, federal agencies have continued to deliver critical services to the American public. For a deeper look at how our government has forged innovative solutions to address the COVID-19 health crisis, read our “bright spots” resources.

Opening Doors, Building Ladders

California has the highest number of federal employees outside the Washington, D.C. area, but agencies in the state still face challenges in attracting quality young talent. To address this issue, the Partnership and the James Irvine Foundation wrote a report examining how federal agencies in California can strengthen their talent pipelines by recruiting, hiring and retaining job seekers without a four-year degree.

Introducing CapitolStrong

The Partnership is proud to join CapitolStrong, a coalition of civil society organizations working to strengthen and invest in the institution of Congress and the people who serve there. Together, we are fiercely committed to honoring and supporting public servants within the Capitol Hill community during this difficult time for our country.

Restoring Stewardship

For the new administration and Congress to confront our biggest challenges, federal leaders across government must work as stewards of the public trust. These resources aim to inspire a renewed faith in government, demonstrating the impact that civil servants can make when they take their oath of office seriously and act in the public interest.

Political Appointments Tracker

Operated jointly by the Washington Post and Partnership for Public Service, the Political Appointments Tracker follows the status of nearly 800 of President Biden’s Senate-confirmed appointments. First launched in 2016, the tracker features several new analytical tools that bring readers closer than ever to the appointments process, including data visualizations, daily appointment updates and comparisons to previous administrations.
