Throughout their careers, law enforcement officials meet and work with individuals from all walks of life. This is why the FBI says it values varied skills, opinions and perspectives among its employees. The FBI is currently seeking special agent candidates with diverse backgrounds and expertise in STEM, legal, accounting, foreign language, education, communication, athletics and other industries.

“Special agents with diverse knowledge and experiences make the FBI stronger,” said special agent in charge Sherri E. Onks. “The variety of skills and expertise among those on our team strengthens our investigations and helps us find new and innovative ways to protect the community. It takes folks from all industries and cultures to accomplish the FBI mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution of the United States, and we look forward to sharing more about our work at this important event.”
