The Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program (FRCWP) is a cyber-focused program that provides government-wide interagency detail assignments (rotations) to cyber-coded government civilians.
The Government-wide FRCWP provides opportunities for employees performing information technology (IT), cybersecurity, and cyber-related functions to apply for and serve in rotations at agencies outside of their home agency. These non-reimbursable details last from six months to one year. Rotations are advertised on this page (see Available Opportunities). The program, authorized by the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act of 2021 (Public Law 117–149), expires in June 2027 (unless extended).
FRCWP empowers federal agencies to further enhance their cyber workforce by developing critical cyber skills and creating environments where employees have ongoing learning and development opportunities. Cyber employees on interagency rotations can improve and develop knowledge and skills to not only support their own professional growth but also bring new skills back to their home agency. Such rotations help advance career opportunities and support employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention.
