Workforce Attraction

“My next challenge is,  with the recent BRAC changes and

the growth in the Intelligence Community,  we find

ourselves challenged to get enough qualified, cleared,

technical talent.  I think a lot of companies have this

challenge, including our government customers. In this

geographical area, we have to be innovative in how we can

continue to attract qualified technical talent.” 

- Joseph Greaney, Northrop Grumman Information Systems
