Edward Graham at Gov.Exec.com reports on a new U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) initiative that’s gearing up to launch a Federal Cyber-Security Apprenticeship Program this Summer, which will provide underserved Veterans with the training needed to safeguard personal data and IT systems from an array of cyber threats.  A shortage of Cyber Professionals has affected both government and industry in recent years, exacerbating concerns about the safety of sensitive data and information from cyber criminals and increasingly emboldened nation state threat actors.  A Federal report released last year found there were more than 700,000 cyber jobs to fill nationwide and nearly 40,000 in the Public Sector as of April 2022.
