The USDA is implementing some strategic plans regarding the anticipated turnover in non-SES and SES (Senior Executive Service) management positions in the next 5-10 years. Human Resources estimate that in the next 5 years, over 20% of its leadership employees will separate from government service. There is a plan to provide in-house supervisory training to early career scientists as well as hiring mid-career scientists in order to fill the anticipated gaps in leadership continuity.

Be aware that many boomers plan to work after retirement either because they want to change careers or work fewer hours or because they are ill prepared for retirement. A recent AARP study showed that about 25 percent of boomers haven’t planned adequately for retirement and will be short of funds.
