This legislation mandates the Secretary of Labor to establish a competitive grant program for workforce intermediaries , aimed at fostering the creation, implementation, and expansion of registered apprenticeship programs in cybersecurity. These programs are designed to provide comprehensive training, including technical instruction, workplace training, and industry-recognized certifications such as CompTIA Security+ or CISSP, preparing individuals for critical roles like cybersecurity support specialists and cloud computing architects. Grant funds are primarily allocated to support essential activities, with at least 85 percent dedicated to developing and providing technical support for apprenticeship registration, assisting employers with curriculum development aligned with the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, and covering offsite training costs. A significant portion also supports apprentices directly through career counseling, mentorship, and assistance with transportation, housing, and childcare expenses. Up to 15 percent of the funds may be used for outreach and marketing efforts to promote apprenticeships and recruit a diverse pool of potential apprentices, including underrepresented populations, youth, and veterans. These funds also support collaboration among workforce intermediaries to share best practices and widely disseminate training resources, thereby strengthening the national cybersecurity workforce.
