It seems like an effort to hire newly educated people for a two year program, to work on various efforts in the federal government as something close to on the job training.

Once you are done you can pair up with one of the private partners you had contacted with during your program. (If they want you).

This does not appear to be an effort to hire people to the federal government, but to get cheap labour from new grads who hope to work on something cool.

(But yes they will have to hire the framework people)
