The playbook emerged from his experience co-founding NYC's Civil Service Pathways Fellowship with CUNY, which addressed the systemic barrier that complex government hiring processes create for entry-level candidates from public universities. It provides step-by-step guidance across seven modules covering workforce analysis, partner responsibilities, hiring mechanisms, job descriptions, participant training, and pilot launching. The model leverages public universities' faster hiring capabilities to create pathways for recent graduates into civil service positions with competitive compensation, simultaneously addressing government's aging workforce challenge and diversity in public sector recruitment.
