Virtually every Federal agency depends on Information Technology to accomplish its mission. Could the IRS operate without a robust, up-to-date system? How about the Medicare program? Social Security? Air traffic control? Homeland and national security? The need for talented young people to build and manage Federal systems is critical, as is having skilled professionals to help protect these same systems. Listen to a panel of Information Technology professionals from the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the United States Navy, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, and U.S. Department of the Treasury discuss the importance, challenges and rewards of working in this field.
