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. This 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. “Cybersecurity is involved in every aspect of the federal government and continues to rapidly evolve,” said Rounds. “We can’t 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." “Strong cybersecurity is a necessity to protect families and businesses from threats and bad actors,” said Ossoff. “That’s 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.” Click HERE for full bill text. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:24:45Z |
