Department of War Launches Cyber Apprenticeship | US News

The Department of War is launching a new paid cyber apprenticeship program to train civilian cybersecurity experts—no prior experience needed, just a U.S. citizenship, age 18+, and a Secret clearance. Designed to fast-track talent in a rapidly evolving threat landscape, the initiative bypasses traditional degrees, focusing on skills and aptitude. With online learning, hands-on training, and mentorship, apprentices can earn certifications and land roles like cyber defense analysts. Two tracks are available—one degree-free, one for a specific agency. As adversaries like Iran ramp up cyber capabilities and AI accelerates attacks, this program aims to modernize military cyber defense and build a nimble, technically elite workforce. Applications close July 17. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
