Federal employment on Navy Station
Ingleside is very limited due to privatization and regionalization of Federal
government agencies.
The climate in all Federal agencies is shifting towards
privatization which may allow the government to better control unexpected shifts
in workload. Privatization is the concept whereby work required by
Federal agencies is performed via a contract bid/award
transaction. Essentially this means that working for a contract
company who performs services to Federal agencies is now becoming a viable
source of employment to consider since you may not live in an area that has many
Civil Service jobs.
REGIONALIZATION:
The other
organizational shift occurring within the Federal government is
"Regionalization". This involves the consolidation of positions at
different locations to one central location. This will mean the elimination of
positions. Federal Human Resource Offices (HRO's) are in the process of
regionalizing and will be titled "Human Resource Service Centers"
(HRSC's). Since these HRO point-of-contacts will be changing with
regionalization, should you need to contact a specific HRS (HRSC) in the Coastal
Bend, contact the Human Resources Office at (361) 776-4233.
