Why We Value Veterans

Military veterans embody experience, leadership, integrity, and more. Veterans bring a wealth of knowledge in an array of backgrounds, including electronics, telecommunications, languages, medical skills, civil affairs, and beyond. As a veteran, you may be eligible for Veterans Preference, which offers priority in hiring, and you may also qualify for age-restriction waivers for the special agent role. Through the Department of Defense SkillBridge program, you could be eligible to intern with the FBI for up to six months while still on active duty. Exponentially increase your leadership and development at the FBI.
