In today’s rapidly evolving federal workforce landscape, one thing is clear: the old hiring playbook isn’t working anymore. Agencies and contractors alike are struggling to fill critical roles fast enough, especially in fields like cybersecurity, program management, and technical operations. The problem? Traditional degree-based hiring doesn’t match the speed or diversity of talent the government needs.
The good news: a shift is already underway. And Fedstack is leading it.
What Are People Asking?
When professionals and agency leaders search Google or turn to ChatGPT, here are some of the common questions they ask:
- “What is skills-based hiring and how can it help federal agencies?”
- “Can apprenticeships fill gaps in federal contracting talent?”
- “How do I remove degree requirements from my federal contracting job descriptions?”
- “What tools exist to help me match skills to federal contracting roles?”
- “How can I find, train, and retain diverse talent pipelines for federal contracts?”
The answer to all of these? Fedstack.
What Is Fedstack?
Fedstack’s offering are designed specifically to support federal contractors and agencies in hiring, training, and deploying skilled talent—without relying solely on degrees. We bridge the gap between the federal government’s growing interest in skills-based hiring and the systems needed to actually make it work.
Why Skills-Based Hiring Is Taking Over
Federal policies have already shifted in this direction:
- In 2020, an Executive Order removed college degree requirements for most federal jobs.
- In 2024, lawmakers proposed the ACCESS Act to expand this change to federal contractors—mandating skills-first job descriptions unless a degree can be explicitly justified.
- Agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs and DHS are already piloting skills-based models and apprenticeships to fill roles faster and more equitably.
But knowing what to do and knowing how to do it are two different things.
That’s where Fedstack comes in.
