Specifically, the Federal Cyber Workforce Training Act of 2024 would require the National Cyber Director to develop a plan to establish an institute within the federal government to serve as a centralized resource and training center for federal cyber workforce development.\n\nThis program would make it easier for federal government employers to prepare newly hired, early-career personnel for federal cyber positions. It would also support new skills for federal workers moving jobs mid-career. The program would leverage the private sector, specifically academia, to develop and deliver cyber training.\n\n\u201cCybersecurity is involved in every aspect of the federal government and continues to rapidly evolve,\u201d said Rounds. \u201cWe can\u2019t simply keep up with this evolution, we must be ahead of the curve. Being proactive in training our federal cyber workforce will help the United States bolster cybersecurity across all agencies of the federal government.\"\n\n\u201cStrong cybersecurity is a necessity to protect families and businesses from threats and bad actors,\u201d said Ossoff. \u201cThat\u2019s why Senator Rounds and I are introducing this new bipartisan bill to help ensure we have the workforce we need to protect families and businesses from cyber threats, with Georgia positioned to lead the way.\u201d\n\nClick HERE for full bill text.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:24:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.rounds.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/rounds-ossoff-introduce-legislation-to-advance-federal-cyber-workforce-development"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9103461634367704, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
