    Federal Education Program Seeks New Leadership

    Thanks to The Peacock Report for this item.

    The federal government is recruiting a new "Education/Investing in People Program Leader," a position that pays in the $81,093-$105,420 range.

    According to a personnel solicitation dated Jan. 15, candidates for this leadership position will be tasked with overseeing initiatives whose "education strategic objective" is the improvement of "the quality and relevance of basic education and of lower level vocational training to enhance job placement opportunities or subsequent level education. The program aims to increase the participation of young people "in social, economic, and political life through the acquisition of life skills gained by both in-school and out-of-school youth."

    The program will take place in Morocco, for Moroccan youth, courtesy the U.S. taxpayer.
