Biden signs AmeriCorps alumni hiring order for federal competitive-service jobs

President Joe Biden signed an executive order on January 16, 2025, to help alumni of full-time AmeriCorps programs enter federal competitive-service jobs. The order authorized agencies to appoint certified AmeriCorps alumni noncompetitively when they are qualified for the position. The White House said the order would strengthen the federal workforce and create a smoother path from national service into public service employment. This row overlaps with other AmeriCorps records from the same day and should be reviewed for consolidation, but the placeholder text has been replaced with a source-specific summary.
