Cybersecurity Workforce Expansion: Apprenticeships and Training for Veterans.
This Act aims to boost the number of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the federal government, directly enhancing data security and critical infrastructure protection against cyber threats. It establishes apprenticeship programs within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and a pilot training program for veterans and transitioning service members, offering them highly sought-after technological skills. Citizens benefit from increased national digital security and new career opportunities in the tech sector.
Key points
Creation of an apprenticeship program within CISA leading directly to employment in federal cybersecurity roles or with CISA-contracted entities, opening new career pathways.
Establishment of a pilot program for veterans and transitioning service members, providing specialized cyber training and the opportunity to earn portable credentials (certificates, diplomas).
Extension of the requirement for assessing the federal cybersecurity workforce until 2025, aiding in better management of the specialist shortage.
