Can they make government jobs as cool as Google and Goldman?
This fall, when top college seniors are meeting with on-campus recruiters from the likes of McKinsey, Google and Goldman Sachs, a handful of ambitious young social entrepreneurs are hoping to lure them to a decidedly less flashy alternative: a post-graduate stint working for local or state government.
Two upstarts with similar names, Lead for America https://www.lead4america.org/ and Govern for America https://www.govern4america.org/ , plan to begin accepting applications this fall for a Teach for America-style fellowship starting in 2019. They hope to attract bright college graduates to such jobs as policy analyst, assistant to the county manager, and parks and recreation manager. The two-year commitments will expose them to the challenges and opportunities of careers in state and local government.
