Beth’s Impact: I never would have imagined I would be on teams that help solve data problems, shape strategic guidance for military leaders, and coordinate internship programs for future leaders. Working at Booz Allen affords me the opportunity to be part of cutting-edge projects from an island that is steeped in community and deeply rooted in culture.
Meaningful work from islands rich in community
Booz Allen’s connection to military clients like the Department of Defense means the firm maintains a natural presence in Hawaii. And with work that ranges from mission readiness to data science, threat reduction, engineering, and digital, Booz Allen relies on the expertise of our Hawaii team to inspire change.
While many consulting firms rely on remote or mainland workforces, Booz Allen is committed to creating opportunities for people who live in—and who are originally from—Hawaii. The firm’s broad range of work provides a unique opportunity to employ talented locals and help diversify the economy.
Ed Barnabas, a leader of Booz Allen’s Indo-Pacific region, notes that Hawaii is focused on technology adaptation and tech-enabling its workforce, and that Booz Allen has been an enabler of this vision for years. “How we support our community is as important as the mission we support for our defense partners,” Ed says. “From our efforts with FIRST Robotics and our Summer Games internship program to partnering with the Chamber of Commerce and mentoring students at the University of Hawaii College of Engineering, we believe investing in STEM efforts and connecting future technologists to careers in defense can happen in many facets and with all ages.”
