Free Cybersecurity Training and Scholarships for Public Service Commitment.

This Act establishes the PIVOTT Program, offering full tuition scholarships and technical training in cybersecurity at community colleges and technical schools. Citizens can gain free education and certifications, but must commit to two years of cyber-relevant work in a Federal, State, or local government agency afterward. The goal is to rapidly increase the number of skilled professionals protecting the nation's critical infrastructure.
Key points

Participants must complete a 2-year service obligation in a government (Federal, State, or local) cyber role after graduation to fulfill the scholarship terms.
The program includes mandatory internships with government agencies or critical infrastructure operators, facilitating entry into the workforce.
