Access to high-impact jobs

Security clearance positions often involve work on confidential projects with a direct impact on national security. These roles are often associated with leading-edge technology and advanced research and development. As a result, if you have a security clearance, you’ll be better positioned to contribute to important missions that shape the future of defense and aerospace.

Increased job marketability

Your security clearance can significantly enhance your marketability for jobs in aerospace and defense. Employers in both the public and private sectors seek candidates who are already cleared, meaning they’ve had an active clearance within the past 24 months, as this reduces the time and cost associated with obtaining a new clearance. Assuming you are otherwise qualified, an active clearance makes you a more attractive candidate, giving you a competitive edge in the job market.

Beyond the short-term contract

While short-term contract work can be an excellent option, we offer many opportunities for full-time employment that may allow you to take advantage of benefits, like a 401(k) retirement plan and tuition assistance programs.

Opportunities for veterans

If you’re an active-duty service member transitioning to a civilian career, you may already hold an active security clearance. Often the skills and experiences you gained in the military align with jobs in aerospace and defense, and having an active clearance gives you a shot at opportunities that are not available to many people.
