Hi Everyone;

 

We are pleased to advise that the vacancy announcement for the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) - Human Exploitation Rescue Operation (HERO) Child-Rescue Corps Program is scheduled to be open in USAJobs.gov during December 4-18, 2023.  In NorCal, there are positions available in San Jose, San Francisco, and Sacramento.  There will be a virtual information session on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 12:30 PM Pacific via Microsoft Teams link Click here to join the meeting.   

 

The HERO program is a paid federal internship that recruits and trains Veterans as computer forensic analysts (CFA) to combat child exploitation. HERO interns assist HSI Special Agents in the rescue of child sexual victims, the prosecution of sexual predators, and the prevention of child sexual abuse. Although positions are not guaranteed, the goal at the end of the internship is to hire successful interns as full-time CFAs with HSI to assist Special Agents in accomplishing the mission of HSI. 

 

The HERO Program is open to wounded, ill or injured (VA/DoD Disability rating) veterans and transitioning service members.  The HERO Program is managed by the HSI Cyber Crimes Center and is an annual, federally funded program. Please help get this message out to all veterans.  

 

Any questions please reach out to kyle.jenkins@hsi.dhs.gov or our recruiter email box recruitment_hsi_norcal@hsi.dhs.gov. 

Thank you,
