Prerequisite: None

If your career takes you into a position which requires or will require access to classified information, you must have a security clearance, and this clearance is only granted by the U.S. government. While there are exceptions, it generally means that you are a U.S. citizen and that you must submit to and "pass" a personnel security investigation (PSI). The PSI is a background check, but probes significantly deeper than a typical employment-related check.

The “Whole Person Approach” (i.e.: they look at everything) to security clearance is tried and true but understanding the process may be new to you. This presentation provides an overview of the security clearance requirements, an understanding of the vetting process, the information required, and the adjudication and appeals process.
