Learn More about Federal Counterterrorism Career Opportunities at Henley-Putnam University, the Leader in Strategic Security

With the pervasive threat of global terrorism, there is no shortage of federal counterterrorism career opportunities. For example, the Counterterrorism Division at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) works to prevent terrorist attacks against the United States. The FBI hires intelligence analysts that have graduate degrees from any accredited college or university that offers education in national security and international affairs among many other relevant fields.

The US federal government employees nearly 2 million civilians (and many more military personnel) and hires several tens of thousands more each year to meet ever-changing staff and mission requirements. Despite popular notions, not all of these jobs are located in the Washington, DC area, which means that you can work for the federal government in every single state and US territory. In fact, according to the Partnership for Public Service, more than 80 percent of all federal civilian employees work outside of the Beltway (that’s 5 out of every 6 employees).

In addition to the FBI’s 56 field offices located around the country, there are federal counterterrorism career opportunities available in every state. The top 10 cities where federal government jobs are concentrated (Partnership for Public Service, 2nd edition, 2007):

  1. Norfolk Virginia/Virginia Beach/Newport News
  2. Baltimore
  3. Philadelphia
  4. Atlanta
  5. San Diego
  6. New York City
  7. Chicago
  8. Salt Lake City/Ogden
  9. Oklahoma City
  10. Los Angeles

Federal counterterrorism career opportunities and related US Government jobs are expected to increase and remain strong through 2016, largely in the security sector. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, many of these government jobs will be outsourced to the private sector, which benefits counterterrorism career candidates who are flexible and willing to pursue job options with government agencies.
