Cybersecurity Upskilling Initiative
This funding opportunity provides financial support for job training programs that help workers with IT backgrounds gain specialized skills in cybersecurity to meet the growing demand for high-skill positions in the field.
The Cybersecurity Upskilling Initiative will fund job training programs that upskill incumbent and dislocated workers who already have Information Technology (IT) credentials and experience but need additional qualifications and specialization to meet employer demand for high-skill cybersecurity occupations. Grants will be awarded to sector partnerships to design and implement cybersecurity training programs.
