The Proof of the working population Foundation (POWF) and Careers in Government Inc. (CIG) have launched a strategic partnership aimed at integrating Bitcoin into public sector employment practices, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine. This collaboration is intended to improve financial security, attract talent, and foster innovation within the government workforce through Bitcoin-based compensation and benefits.
The focus of the partnership is to develop innovative strategies for incorporating Bitcoin into salary options and incentive structures for public sector employees. By testing these strategies, the initiative aims to create a scalable model that can be adopted by government employers across the country. This effort is intended to increase job satisfaction and provide financial protection for employees against inflation and other economic uncertainties.
“By integrating Bitcoin into public sector employment practices, we not only attract and retain top talent, but we also advance financial literacy and inclusion, which aligns with our mission of connecting talented individuals with meaningful careers,” said Michael and Corey Hurwitz, founders of Careers In Government.
In addition to compensation integration, the partnership will promote financial literacy among public sector employees by providing educational and professional development opportunities related to Bitcoin. Additionally, the partnership will implement tailored training programs and outreach campaigns to encourage Bitcoin adoption in the public sector.
“We are excited to partner with Careers In Government to advance Bitcoin adoption in the public sector. This partnership is a significant step forward in enabling government employers and employees to embrace the benefits of this innovative technology,” said Dom Beifounder of the Proof of Workforce Foundation.
This partnership expands POWF’s ongoing efforts to integrate Bitcoin into government operations. Earlier this summer, POWF made headlines by partnering with the city of Santa Monica to establish an official Bitcoin office, a historic move that came at no cost to the city.
