OPM is working with the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council, Workforce and Human Capital for IT Committee, and agency human resources staffs to investigate the feasibility of jointly hosting a job fair for information technology jobs. Preliminary discussions include taking maximum advantage of the Internet to facilitate the recruitment and hiring process, and holding a one-day event in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area to allow information exchange. We have set the month of February as a target timeframe for these activities.

Before we develop a plan for this project, we need to ascertain the numbers and types of positions that agencies would expect to fill through this joint effort.

• Is your agency interested in participating?
• If we were to proceed with this project, how many information technology vacancies would you plan to fill, by series, specialty title, grade, and location?
