The FBI Wounded Warrior Pilot Program (WWPP) supports Executive
Order #13518, Employment of Veterans in the Federal Government; dated November
9, 2009. The WWPP is a direct veteran recruitment resource, which enables the
FBI to identify and assess potential employees from a pool of highly qualified
and diverse veterans who possess a wide range of skills and talents.
The FBI will provide career development opportunities for
qualified service members recovering from medical procedures. Participating
offices will provide meaningful assignments which will enable individuals to
build a resume, explore employment interest, develop job skills, and gain
valuable federal government work experience. Additionally, the WWPP offers the
participant a formal means of transitioning back to the military or civilian
workforce.
A participant must be an active-duty service member recovering
from a medical procedure and be authorized by the Department of Defense (DoD)
to participate in the WWPP. The wounded warrior must be a U.S. citizen and have
been adjudicated in a single-scope background investigation or have the ability
to secure such adjudication. DoD will certify that they are medically and
professionally cleared. The FBI agrees that their work will not interfere with
their rehabilitation and medical requirements.
The participant field offices are: San Diego, Washington Field,
Sacramento, Charlotte. The FBI’s International Operations Division, Operational
Technology Division, and Laboratory are also participating.
On Friday, March 18, 2011, FBI employees fingerprinted a number of
U.S. Marines to facilitate their participation in the FBI Wounded Warrior Pilot
Program. It is anticipated that these men will begin their internships within a
few weeks.
