The HERO Program
Description
The Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Human Exploitation Rescue Operation (HERO) Child Rescue Corps is a paid federal internship that is open to disabled veterans and disabled active-duty service members who are transitioning out of the service due to wounds, illness, or injury. (VA/DoD Disability rating)
The HERO Program is operated by HSI and managed by the HSI Cyber Crimes Center.
The program mission is to combat the growing problem of child exploitation by recruiting, training, and equipping wounded, ill, or injured veterans to become computer forensic analysts (CFAs).
Although positions are not guaranteed, our goal at the end of the internship is to hire successful interns as full-time CFAs to assist Special Agents in the rescue of child sexual victims, the prosecution of sexual predators, and the prevention of child sexual abuse.
The HERO Program consists of 13 weeks of paid HSI introductory and forensic training, followed by a 9 month-long paid internship in computer forensics at HSI offices throughout the U.S..
Locations are selected during the application and hiring process.
