Partnering for Progress

Our core value of We Do the Right Thing drives our approach so everyone can discover their possible.

Powering Innovation

We believe that a team and workplace that values different backgrounds and perspectives is crucial to innovation, productivity, and profitability. Our goal is to continually support and nurture Northrop Grumman employees whose unique characteristics reflect the global communities we serve.

Women in Defence

Women in Defence works to enhance the individual and collective impact of women who work in defence of the UK; Northrop Grumman has supported this organisation since its founding in 2017.

As founding signatories to the Women in Defence charter, we are committed to enabling 30% female representation at all levels of the defence industry by 2030. Our current female representation at Northrop Grumman stands at 22% (as of March 2024) and the business already has number of initiatives underway to help us meet our commitment by 2030.

We are also proud sponsors of the annual Women In Defence Awards, which celebrate the work being done by, and in support of, women across our industry.

Empowering Black Female Coders

Black CodHer is the result of NGUK’s collaboration with Niyo Network, a charitable initiative aimed at engaging, encouraging and recruiting more black women to take up rewarding new tech-focused careers.

Over the past four year’s, Northrop Grumman and Black CodHer have worked on a range of initiatives including hackathons, career skill webinars and mentorship programmes. Graduates have joined Northrop Grumman as software engineers, and have since contributed to events.

“My journey into tech at NG was shaped by Niyo’s Black Codher Bootcamp. The programme not only enhanced my technical skills but also provided invaluable support and mentorships. NG has been a beacon of support since I joined and I wanted to reassure the current cohort about the company’s commitment to newcomers in tech."

Participating in the webinar was a proud moment in my career, representing NG to a community that holds significance for me, and listening to wisdom from Tavia about her journey. It meant reflecting on my progress, acknowledging the challenges like imposter syndrome, and emphasising the importance of pushing through fear to strive for success.

AWS re/Start

As global partners of Amazon Web Services, Northrop Grumman participates in the AWS re/Start programme, designed to find and recruit talented tech superstars with boundless potential.

The AWS re/Start programme is a 12-week full-time training boot camp which helps people launch careers in the cloud. As a cohort-based development programme, it is free to join and supports unemployed or underemployed individuals by connecting them with potential employers.

Learners build AWS Cloud skills, along with knowledge building of Linux, Python, networking, security, database, automation, and core as well as soft skills. The programme is delivered through scenario-based exercises and instructor-led sessions.

“I was exploring my options on how to make a move into a role working in tech. AWS re/Start teaches you tech fundamentals such as networking, security and python, which is a good foundation for more advanced Cloud concepts and starting a career.” – Luke, Cloud Engineer at NGUK and re/Start Alumnus
