For the People: A Celebration of Public Service

April 7, 2025 · 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM · Eaton House, Washington DC · Free

Government isn’t an institution. It’s the people inside it, the ones who show up every day to make communities work.

On April 7th, GovSkills and FormerGov are joining forces to host a day built around the human side of public service: bringing together people exploring government careers, those already in it, and the agencies and associations committed to making it work.

The event starts at 10:00am and runs until 4:00pm. The morning is your chance to meet employers and organizations doing meaningful work in the DMV. The afternoon shifts into honest conversations about what it actually means to build a career in public service: the stories, the paths, and what comes next. If you’re looking for a way in, this is the room to be in.

We’re also celebrating the launch of GovSkills, a platform built to make government careers more accessible and easier to navigate. Come see what we’ve been building.
