Washington, D.C. – March 11, 2025– What happens when decades of public service suddenly come to an end? Across the country, experienced government professionals are facing unexpected career transitions due to workforce reductions, agency reorganizations, and evolving job requirements. In response, Vantage Point Consulting Inc., a Veteran- and Woman-Owned Small Business, has launched the Displaced by DOGE Network, a nationwide career support platform designed to help public servants take control of their future.

Vantage Point Consulting has spent nearly two decades working with federal and state agencies, higher education institutions, and workforce development organizations to create solutions that support career pathways, professional development, and strategic workforce planning.Leveraging this expertise, the Displaced by DOGE Network was developed to provide government employees with the tools, resources, and community they need to transition confidently into new opportunities.

“As federal and state agencies restructure, thousands of experienced professionals are left wondering what’s next,” said Dr. Jeffrey Carpenter, Co-Founder of Vantage Point Consulting and Co-Community Founder of the Displaced by DOGE Network. “Our goal is to ensure that public servants who have dedicated their careers to serving their communities have access to the right resources, opportunities, and connections to successfully transition into new roles.”

For many public servants, sudden career shifts can be overwhelming. Colby Britton, a federal employee with over two decades of government service, knows this firsthand. His career began at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), followed by roles at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General (DOT-OIG). With a family to support, Britton expected to remain in government service for at least another decade until an unexpected job loss forced him to navigate a complex and unfamiliar transition process.

“I wasn’t ready to leave government service. The reality of needing to find new employment, navigating job applications, and realizing how different federal resumes are from the civilian sector was overwhelming,” said Britton. “I knew that if I was facing these challenges,others were too. That’s why I joined the Displaced by DOGE Network to help build a community where we can support one another through these transitions.”

The Displaced by DOGE Network is an innovative platform that provides a structured, interactive space where government employees facing job uncertainty can connect with peers, explore career opportunities, and gain access to essential career development tools. Members can take advantage of AI-driven job matching to connect with employers actively seeking public sector expertise.Virtual job fairs and networking events provide direct engagement with hiring managers, while one-on-one career coaching, resume support, and skill-building workshops help job seekers prepare for new career paths.

The platform’s unique approach blends technology with community support, ensuring displaced professionals don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. "Navigating a career transition isn’t just about finding a job, it’s about knowing where to start and how to market your government experience in new industries," said Jackson Viccora, Community Co-Founder and workforce technology expert. "This network bridges that gap by providing structured resources, peer connections, and direct employer engagement, making the process smoother and more effective."

A key component of the network is the Displaced by DOGE Job Board, a nationwide hiring platform that streamlines the job search process for both job seekers and employers. Using AI-driven technology, it matches professionals with roles suited to their skills and experience,ensuring a more efficient, targeted job search. Job seekers can upload resumes,set real-time alerts, and connect with employers who value public sector expertise. An interactive job map further simplifies the transition process by allowing users to find opportunities based on location.

The Displaced by DOGE Job Board isn’t just for job seekers, it’s a direct hiring solution for employers. Organizations gain access to highly skilled, mission-driven professionals with leadership, expertise, and a strong commitment to public service. The platform’s automated job scraping ensures employers job listings appear with minimal administrative effort. Employers looking for increased visibility can also take advantage of additional features such as rotating featured jobs, custom employer highlight posts, and employer spotlights within the Displaced by DOGE community.

"By hiring from this community, employers are not only filling critical roles with top-tier candidates but also supporting a dedicated workforce in their career transitions," said Wendy Garcia,Community Co-Founder and workforce change management expert. "This platform ensures that experienced public sector professionals have access to the right opportunities, and that employer’s benefit from an incredible pool of mission-driven talent."

The Displaced by DOGE Network is now open for early access. Public servants affected by workforce changes can join the community Displaced by DOGE  to connect with peers, access career resources, and explore new job opportunities.

Employers, state, and local agencies seeking to engage with the job board platform to connect with top-tier public sector talent and utilize innovative recruitment tools can contact info@displacedbydoge.com for more details.
