Representatives from the CIA’s National Clandestine Service (NCS) will discuss the CIA NCS mission and career opportunities. The NCS is the front-line source of clandestine information on critical international developments, from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction to military and political issues. The mission is challenging – requiring one to make a true commitment to the Agency. It is more than just a job. It's a way of life that challenges the deepest resources of personal intelligence, self-reliance and responsibility. The NCS seeks mature, educated individuals with varied backgrounds and life experiences, professional and educational histories, language capabilities, and other elements that allow us to meet our mission’s critical objectives. These positions require relocation to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. U.S. Citizenship is required. While the primary focus of the meeting will be the NCS, the representatives will also share information and answer questions regarding the many career opportunities elsewhere at the CIA. Interested individuals are encouraged to learn more at www.cia.gov prior to the meeting. Attendance at the event is free, but registration is required!
