Participants in the NSIN Ambassador program cultivate opportunities within the defense community while working full-time

Leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields have answered the call to serve as ambassadors in the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN) Hirethon program.

The ambassadors have been selected because of their successful careers and networks in STEM-related work. In addition, they have a passion for sharing models of service that account for generational and cultural differences between the military, academic, and venture communities.

Between their STEM backgrounds and passion for civil service, the ambassadors have volunteered to help create a diverse talent pipeline for the Department of Defense (DoD), raise awareness of DoD employment opportunities, and expand networks of defense innovators in their communities.

“The Hirethon ambassadors impress me because they’re working professionals who volunteer to support our mission of providing flexible pathways to service within the DoD,” said NSIN Program Manager Farid Nemri. “They’ll empower today’s diverse STEM talent to build tomorrow’s innovations at the DoD.”
