Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm seeing this as an analog to the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps (maybe the name is swaying me there?). Something specifically for people right at the beginning of their career to have an opportunity to perhaps do something meaningful. And once they have that experience on their resume, it'll help them do the next thing.

The US Digital Corps (a new program) is meant to be for people at the beginning of their careers.

GP was referring to the US Digital Service, which is for mid- and senior-level tech folks.

Yes, absolutely correct and I should have been clearer about this, this was the (at this point) long-running USDS program, not this new thing.

The program I looked at back then read like it was targeting established professionals.
