Understand Clearance Requirements
Some Peraton roles supporting government customers require a security clearance or eligibility to obtain one. Other positions may not require a clearance. Requirements vary by program and position.
Review the posting carefully. Do not claim a clearance you do not hold, and do not assume that a certification substitutes for a clearance, citizenship, education, or experience requirement.
Peraton’s early-career materials state that clearance needs depend on the project supported. Follow the exact instructions in the current job announcement.
