The event showcased a range of entry-level positions, each critical to the FBI’s mission of ensuring national security and public safety. Here’s a look at some of the roles that captured the students' attention:

Independent Contract Linguist and FBI Linguist: With the FBI’s focus on communication, these positions appealed to students with language skills, highlighting the diverse ways one can contribute to national security.

Additionally, internal applicants learned about the Tactical Specialist position, which requires a specialized skill set for high-stakes operations.

The event allowed UAT Cyber security students to connect with FBI representatives, ask questions, and gain insight into the rigorous application process. With the FBI's commitment to building a skilled and diverse workforce, students left feeling inspired and empowered about their potential careers.
