## Summary

**Federal grants to build cybersecurity apprenticeships.** This bill would create a Department of Labor program that funds workforce intermediaries to set up, expand, and run registered apprenticeship programs in cybersecurity with classroom instruction, on-the-job training, and industry certifications. - Workers and apprentices: Programs would combine technical instruction, workplace training, and industry certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and CISSP.

At least 85 percent of each grant must fund program development, employer partnership activities, and apprentice support, while up to 15 percent may fund outreach and recruitment to students, veterans, and underrepresented populations.
