On April 17, Team FSIS inspired hundreds of youth to future public service by promoting agency careers at 4-H’s Inaugural Youth Career Fair. Over 300 energetic middle and high school students took selfies with Thermy, learned about food safety and interacted with our “tools of the trade” at the FSIS booth. The students’ interests ranged from veterinarian and inspector positions to science, public affairs and policy. FSIS also participated in the Cool Jobs Panel. The agency’s future looks bright if this group is any indicator.

Team FSIS included employees from the Office of Public Affairs and Consumer Education (OPACE); Office of Management (OM); Office of Field Operations (OFO); Office of Policy and Program Development (OPPD); Office of Investigation, Enforcement and Audit (OIEA); and the Office of Public Health Science (OPHS). Team members not pictured below: OM Chief Talent Management Officer Janet Stevens and OPACE Congressional and Public Affairs Staff Acting Deputy Director Dr. Lynda Lilyestrom.
