About us
The U.S. Department of State is focused on accomplishing America's mission of diplomacy at home and around the world. The U.S. Department of State manages America’s relationships with foreign governments, international organizations, and the people of other countries. U.S. diplomats and Civil Service professionals carry out the President’s foreign policy and help build a more free, prosperous, and secure world. U.S. Department of State employees, with their skills, character and commitment to public service, are the backbone of America's diplomacy. They represent the people and advocate the interests of the U.S. to the rest of the world. The Foreign Service (FS) is dedicated to representing America and responding to the needs of American citizens in other countries. Members of the Foreign Service can be sent to any embassy, consulate, or other diplomatic mission anywhere in the world, at any time, to serve the diplomatic needs of the United States. Civil Service (CS) employees provide in-depth expertise and continuity in accomplishing all aspects of the Department's mission and are involved in virtually every function of the Department. Civil Service employees issue passports, compile and analyze overseas reports, provide logistical support to posts, consult with Congress about foreign policy initiatives and policies, and formulate and manage the budget. Nearly 7,400 Civil Service (CS) employees serve as a stable resource pool in Washington D.C., at Passport Agencies and field offices throughout the United States, and at several Consulates in Mexico. More than 31,000 Foreign Service National (FSN) employees also supplement the personnel requirements of the Department overseas. FSN employees are local residents of the countries in which we maintain diplomatic posts and consulates. They are valued members of our embassy teams, for they provide continuity for the transient American staff and have language and cultural expertise.

To close out #HispanicHeritageMonth, our final spotlight is Jason Cubas, a Foreign Service Officer in the Management career track. He is currently the Consul General at the U.S. Consulate General Osaka-Kobe. Originally hailing from New York City before moving to Miami, Jason’s journey to the U.S. Department of State highlights how determination and passion can lead to an amazing career as a Foreign Service Officer (FSO). He graduated from Florida International University where he studied subjects such as engineering, astronomy, and history. In addition, Jason received his J.D. from the University of Miami and studied medieval Japanese history at the University of Miami Graduate School. Before joining the Department in 1999, he was inspired by a Hometown Diplomat, a Cuban-American FSO who spoke at his school. Jason ended up going through the application process twice and now has worked abroad in Japan, Korea, Iraq, Washington D.C., Peru, and Nicaragua. “Personally, this career is not a job but a calling. I find it fulfilling in a deep and meaningful way. As a management professional, my team is the foundation for U.S. diplomacy at the mission, enabling the work everyone else does. Whether that is supporting the repatriation of Americans during a pandemic or coordinating relief after a tsunami among U.S. government agencies and the local government, the work we do matters daily in the lives of hundreds if not thousands of people.” Do you want to learn more about other U.S. diplomats of Hispanic heritage?
