Are you ready?  Join us for this dynamic 2-hour seminar designed to break down the latest directives impacting federal hiring, performance management, and SES leadership. We’ll review changes to the Merit Hiring Plan, the new SES Core Qualifications, and the updated performance standards issued by OPM, translating them into plain language and actionable guidance. Whether you're a federal employee, supervisor, or aspiring SES, this briefing will show you exactly what’s changed—and what it means for your career.

You’ll learn how to prepare for skills-based hiring, navigate the end of self-assessments and long resumes, understand the implications of structured interviews and mandatory performance check-ins, and align yourself with agency and administration priorities. Most importantly, we’ll discuss how to not just survive—but thrive—in this new era of federal service.
