2016 NexUS Forum

This year’s program “Shaping the Next US” is sponsored by ACT-IAC’s young leadership group, NexUS. NexUS is comprised of young professionals working together to assist each other in becoming the next generation of federal technology leaders.

Every day there are new statistics about how the generation born between 1980 and 2000 and how they are changing the way the workforce works:

- They are IMPACTFUL - 75% of the workforce by the year 2030.

- They are EDUCATED - 79% hold higher education degrees than other generations.

- They are CONNECTED - 56% won’t accept jobs from companies that ban social media

- They are FLEXIBLE - 45% will choose workplace flexibility over pay

- They are MOBILE - 2 years is the average job tenure

Change is imminent; so what are we doing to educate, train and guide our next generation of leaders? ACT-IAC is offering a half-day event that will focus on navigating career paths, mentorship, succession planning, and leadership. Content will be delivered through variety of channels including a keynote speaker from the Executive Office of the President, “speed dating” round table discussions, mini workshops that will work through real life case study situations, and an interactive panel.
