Creates new cybersecurity job training for veterans, military spouses, and federal apprenticeships.
This bill would create two new pilot programs to boost the number of cybersecurity workers. One program would offer free cybersecurity training to veterans, military members transitioning to civilian life, and military spouses. The other would set up an apprenticeship program within the Department of Homeland Security, aiming to fill federal cybersecurity jobs.
Today, the federal government and the nation face a large shortage of cybersecurity workers, with about 500,000 job openings nationwide. After this bill, the Department of Homeland Security would establish two new pilot programs over the next three years. These programs would create federal cybersecurity apprenticeships for up to 25 new people each year and offer free cybersecurity training to eligible veterans, military members, and military spouses.
