Writer J.R.R. Tolkien wrote “Not all those who wander are lost.” That quote really resonates with us. At Booz Allen, we believe that to build something truly innovative, you need space to tinker and try new things. You need permission to fail—and you need the encouragement to try again. That’s why we offer our team unparalleled opportunities to grow. And it’s how we empower our people to explore new worlds, face down threats, cure disease, build ideas, and stand up for what’s right.
In Central Maryland, that philosophy comes to life at our Innovation Hub (iHub). The iHub is a launch pad for breakthroughs, thanks to diverse support programs that give our people the freedom to wander:
- Technical Excellence Program: A million-dollar investment designed to cultivate the experiences, exposure, and education every innovator craves
- Tech Innovators Program: A 6-month program that fosters support with mentorship, time, and funding as employees research a problem they’re passionate about
- Forge Hackerspace: Employee-focused lab offering self-structured research and development, experimentation, and idea acceleration. Forge features 3D printers, a fully equipped workbench, pre-market tech toys, and even a few non-tech toys for clearing mental cobwebs.
- Dark Labs: An elite group of cyber experts who use the mindset and techniques of today’s most advanced hackers to protect against them
- Digital University: 5000+ online courses, certifications, books, and whitepapers available 24/7
- Communities of Excellence: Online functional communities that empower connection through knowledge sharing
Ready to dream, drive, and do? Join our Central Maryland team of 1,500 software, systems, engineering, and IT pros and we’ll give you the time, space, and encouragement to explore your ideas and help leave the world better than we found it.
