We are excited to launch the inaugural pilot of the Department of War’s (DoW) Cyber Apprenticeship Program!
The program, administered by the DoW Office of the Chief Information Officer (DoW CIO), is designed to address the growing demand for skilled cyber professionals within the Department. This 12-month program provides a paid, structured, progressive pathway for individuals seeking to launch or advance their careers in cyber.
Through a blend of asynchronous online learning, interactive labs, mentorship, and on-the-job training participants will gain practical skills in areas such as security operations, network defense, ethical hacking, and the application of artificial intelligence to cyber threat analysis. This equips the Department employees with industry-recognized certifications and practical experience, ready to contribute immediately.
