Your assigned onboarding representative will provide you with a series of tasks that need to be completed as part of the onboarding process. One of the tasks, as a new employee, will be to complete your drug screening. You will receive specific instructions on how to schedule this screening at a location convenient to you, as well as information on what you need to bring with you to the appointment.

It’s important to note that your dug screening must be completed within 72 hours of the task being assigned to you by onboarding.  If you require an extension or have further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your assigned Onboarder. You can find their contact information in the introduction emails you received.

Additionally, as a US federal contractor, Northrop Grumman adheres to the Drug-Free Workplace Act and relevant local laws. Despite marijuana’s legalization in certain US states, it remains illegal under federal law. Therefore, our company prohibits its use, even in locations where it may be legal under state law.

The requirement for a Department of Defense (DOD) clearance varies depending on the program and business needs for our interns and entry-level positions. While many of these positions may require a clearance, it’s not a requirement for all.

If your position requires a clearance, your hiring manager will initiate the clearance process for you, typically within a few weeks of accepting your offer and completing your initial onboarding tasks. Once you’ve been submitted for clearance, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Enterprise Security Shared Services (ESSS).

Please be aware that all tasks within the clearance process are time-sensitive and must be completed promptly. Any delays in completing these tasks could potentially result in a delay in your start date. For more detailed information about the clearance process, you can refer to here.

Northrop Grumman does not provide housing for our internship program. However, qualifying interns will receive a housing stipend to assist with the cost of housing and relocation for the duration of the summer internship. 

While we do not offer specific housing recommendations, we encourage interns to join our Discord group based on location. This group serves as a networking platform where interns can connect with other areas, potentially find roommates, and share housing sources. Discord invites are typically sent out at the beginning of the year. 

Ultimately, interns are responsible for securing their own housing arrangements. We recommend utilizing resources such as the housing stipend and the Discord group to facilitate the process.
