Commitment to a Diverse Workforce

The Department’s workforce is diverse, highly talented, and goes beyond the call of duty to perform at the highest levels. The invaluable contributions and strong work ethic of all Homeland Security employees serve as the standard for recruiting the next generation.

We seek applicants from all backgrounds, whether you are a recent college graduate or seasoned professional. Our careers call for individuals with creativity, initiative, decision-making abilities, and expertise in areas of management, science, law enforcement, intelligence, security, engineering, budget, and information technology, just to name a few.

Persons with Disabilities who hold a certification eligibility letter from a State Vocational Rehabilitation Office or the Department of Veterans Affairs may apply for Homeland Security employment opportunities through one of several special hiring authorities. Applicants with certification eligibility letters may apply directly to a Homeland Security Selective Placement Coordinator to be considered for a job.
