CBP Recognized as a Top Employer for Veterans

CBP AIMS TO RECRUIT VETERANS AND TRANSITIONING SERVICE MEMBERS, CONTINUES SUPPORT WITHIN RANKS THROUGH VETERAN SUPPORT PROGRAM

WASHINGTON - U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been selected as one of the Top 25 Employers for Veterans 2025 according to a list compiled by Military.com's Veteran Employment Project.

CBP is the only federal agency on the list. Employers are selected based on their dedicated veteran hiring team, commitment to providing internships to transitioning veterans, and the clarity of the call-to-action on their website.

"I am pleased to learn that CBP has once again been recognized as a top employer for our nation's veterans," said Andrea Bright, Assistant Commissioner of CBP's Human Resources Management. "America's veterans embody CBP's core values of vigilance, service to country, and integrity. By joining CBP, veterans become an integral part of a dedicated team of professionals driven by integrity and dedication, where their efforts will have an enduring, positive impact on our nation's security."

Over the past year, CBP continued to focus on recruiting veterans and transitioning service members to join its ranks. To promote CBP job opportunities, CBP recruiters regularly attended national military conferences, advertised in military publications and on military-oriented websites, and conducted recruitment outreach activities at military installations nationwide. CBP also hosted Veteran Employment webinars which provided information specific to veterans. During these webinars, veterans had the chance to hear directly from CBP's veteran employees and hiring managers about the agency's hiring process and available job opportunities.

CBP also participates in the Department of Defense SkillBridge and Veteran Affairs Non-Paid Work Experience programs for transitioning service members, with the goal of providing job training and experience in civilian roles. These programs offer the opportunity for veterans to be hired in permanent positions within the agency.

One of the reasons CBP remains attractive to veterans is the agency's commitment to supporting them within its ranks. CBP established its Veteran Support Program (VSP) in 2019 for veteran personnel and their families. The VSP comprises a network of approximately 300 national and international coordinators who offer support and guidance on CBP employment benefits, along with resources for veterans' mental, physical, and emotional health and much more.

CBP offers career opportunities for veterans and transitioning service members across the United States and in more than 40 locations abroad. Positions are available in CBP program offices both at headquarters and in field offices including U.S. Border Patrol, Office of Field Operations, Air and Marine Operations, Office of Trade, Office of Intelligence, and many others.

CBP operates in all 50 states, in over 50 countries, and at 328 ports of entry to protect the American people, safeguard our borders, and enhance the nation's economic prosperity. CBP is hiring.
