Expanding Cybersecurity Careers: New Training Opportunities for Diverse Communities.
This Act establishes a new federal program within CISA to actively recruit and train individuals from diverse and disadvantaged communities for cybersecurity jobs. This means new, government-funded career pathways and training opportunities are opening up for older workers (40+), veterans, minorities, women, and those with non-traditional educational backgrounds. The goal is to strengthen national digital security by diversifying the talent pool.
Key points
$20 million annually is authorized (through 2030) to fund cybersecurity training and outreach specifically targeting individuals aged 40+, veterans, formerly incarcerated people, and minorities.
The program aims to create new career opportunities in the high-demand tech sector, improving job prospects for underrepresented groups.
CISA must tailor the training to regional needs and conduct broad outreach to unions, community colleges, and workforce development offices.
