This role contributes to NRCS’s mission by enhancing capacity in field offices and ensuring timely assistance to producers.

For over 25 years, National Experienced Workforce Solutions (NEW Solutions) has specialized in connecting experienced workers (ages 55+) with full-time and part-time job opportunities that support the critical missions of Federal Agencies across the United States.
