We have looked at the importance of homeland security training and some of the distance learning programs available in homeland security. This time, we'll look at the types of homeland security jobs available.

Redirect to Homeland Security with Distance learning

Homeland security jobs can be on the front line or oriented towards homeland security strategy. If you already work in law enforcement and want to become one of President Bush's "first responders" in homeland security, additional distance learning homeland security training could be your best move.

Not all of us can use our homeland security training to make us the next Condoleeza Rice, but there is fascinating range of homeland security jobs available for the right candidate.

If you have existing qualifications in areas such as information technology, law, and medicine, post-graduate distance learning homeland security training can put you in the right place with the right credentials.

Homeland Security Jobs

Here are some departments to look into for homeland security jobs:
  • Bureau of Diplomatic Security
  • Customs and Border Protection
  • Department of Homeland Security
  • Federal Bureau of Investigation
  • Federal Emergency Management Agency
  • Federal Law Enforcement
  • Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection
  • Immigration and Naturalization Services
  • The National Institute of Health
  • United States Coast Guard
  • United States Secret Service

The DHS also offer summer jobs for students. Depending on the daytime commitments of distance learning students, this may be a great first step toward a plethora of homeland security jobs.

The Future of Homeland Security

In his 2006 budget request made on February 7th, President Bush asked for $41.1 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). While we all pray for a speedy resolution of international terrorist threats, the DHS will be here for a long time. Homeland security training can make you part of it.
