Description
The Peace Corps is seeking input from industry stakeholders and academic institutions on two potential paths for hiring Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs) as Strategic Recruiters under the Peace Corps Strategic Recruitment Program (Strat) at university campuses nationwide. The two options being considered are a new centralized contracting approach and continued university participation under the current Strat program structure. The goal is to extend the reach of the program to at least 14 additional universities.
• The current model involves direct contracts between the Peace Corps and each participating university.
• The new centralized contracting approach would involve a single prime contractor managing and administering subcontracts with participating universities.
• The Peace Corps is seeking input on the feasibility of implementing the centralized subcontracting model, recommended organizational structures, and cost implications.
• The program aims to promote Peace Corps opportunities on campus, conduct outreach, and support the agency's recruitment goals through lead generation and conversion of leads to Peace Corps Volunteer position applicants.
