Pentagon opens applications for cyber apprenticeship program

The Department of Defense has opened applications for its Cyber Registered Apprenticeship Program (Cyber RAP), a 12-month pilot to train entry-level cyber roles (e.g., defense analysts, incident responders) with an emphasis on skills-based hiring rather than college degrees; the program includes two tracks with differing academic requirements and requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a security clearance.
