Homeland Security Education and the Corporate World

with 10 comments

The post 9/11 world we live in has seen a multitude of changes in regard to the way we perceive homeland security. What was once a buzzword has become a certified institution, and academia has taken notice. The number of accredited colleges and universities offering homeland security degree programs has grown steadily over the last five years.

Homeland security degree programs offer an exceptionally wide platform from which to build a career. From law enforcement and corrections to border security and any of the many government agencies responsible for our nation’s safety, the opportunities are almost endless. One area of employment often overlooked by homeland security degree program graduates lies in the complex and oft misunderstood world of corporate security.

When most people think of corporate security, images of IT professionals come to mind. Certainly the problems of the information age have made data security and the safe and secure transmission of information a high priority. Still, corporate security involves much more than just the realm of information technology.

Trade secrets, formulas, employee access, financial information and secured locations are all part of the average large corporations security concerns. Considering that very few large corporations fall into the category of average, the need for qualified security personnel is ever present.

Homeland security degree programs, because of their very nature, are well suited for producing qualified applicants. The training and skills covered in areas such as surveillance, criminal law and security protocols and procedures can readily be applied to the corporate world. In years past, corporations would rarely hire recent graduates to handle their security needs, instead opting to recruit ex-military or retired police force personnel. Unquestionably, there is no substitute for experience in the law enforcement field or the military. Still, the curriculum offered in homeland security degree programs can provide students with the technical knowledge to be successful in the field. Those who have police or military experience in addition to a homeland security degree are especially ideal because of their experience level.

As the corporate world begins to recognize the potential for finding qualified security personnel from the pool of recent college graduates, it’s likely that more and more headhunters will be from the private sector in the years to come.

  4. Dick Cheney is going to get caught with a gay prostitute who is addicted to meth. It will come out that the VP and many others in the current administration are weekend meth users preferring to take it rectally. In the failed cover-up that will ensue it will be revealed that the prostitute’s father is a Texas oilman with ties to the Bush dynasty..

  5. Only a couple of these "scandals" were ever proved. Most are made up charges from your friends the liberals. Keep up the good work & you will find a real one.

    Can we discuss the Democrat’s scandal? Just kidding, I have a life & not nearly enough time to waste on those scandals.

  6. The next Republican scandel during this Bush-itting administration is that they will denie that in Kuwait and now in Iraq, U.S. Oil Companies are extrating oil ilegaly from other countries by using drilling metheds called "Horizontal Drilling".
    You can probably guess in what kind of trouble your getting into if the public and these countries might react.
    Look at the guy get an idea when watching a kid bend the straw to get to more shake (oil).
    All other scandals you mentioned indicate tha this government is based on lies and the control of public perceptions
    OH NO! Not another consparacy theory, oh my
    god, what a scandal.

  8. I think Bush will declare victory in Iraq. This way he can walk away from the presidency and blame any ongoing issues in Iraq on the new Democratic govt.. He’s already declared victory once, what’s stopping him from doing it again.

    Just wait until he’s out of office and not in control of the white house. There will be some interesting stories surfacing.
