NYU ITP Alum, Jenny Wang (‘22), was selected as part of the inaugural cohort of the U.S. Digital Corps. Jenny will spend the next two years working at the Department of Veterans Affairs as a designer working on making it easier for Veterans to access the health, education, and other benefits they earned. She was one of 39 Fellows selected from an extremely competitive applicant pool of over 1,000 applicants from across the country.
The U.S. Digital Corps launched last year to recruit early-career technologists to work on priority projects in five skill tracks: software engineering, data science and analytics, product management, design, and cybersecurity. Fellows will work on projects in a wide range of areas, including health, immigration, customer experience, and equity.
The program and the fellows' work strongly aligns with Priorities 1 and 2 of the President's Management Agenda, as well as executive orders on cybersecurity; customer experience; and diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in the federal workforce.
