U.S. Department of Labor reposted this
#Apprenticeships are the cornerstone of President Trump’s workforce strategy, and #cybersecurity is one of the most urgent national workforce challenges. I was honored to join the launch of the DC Tech Hub Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program at the University of the District of Columbia. This apprenticeship program serves as a model for how collaboration between industry and education can build robust talent pipelines for our nation’s most critical industries. President Trump’s Executive Order makes clear that emerging technology fields, such as cybersecurity, are priority sectors, and this program brings that policy to life on the ground to build the pipeline of skilled talent needed to defend our digital infrastructure. Thank you to Julie Sweet/Accenture, Murali Vullaganti/PeopleShores, and President Maurice Edington/University of the District of Columbia for your leadership in establishing this new apprenticeship hub. The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to expanding the proven model of apprenticeships, including exploring opportunities to streamline the registration process and improve the value proposition for Registered Apprenticeships, to provide more opportunities for American Workers.
