Ashley Silver at Government Technology reports Chicago is taking steps to proactively build the next generation of Government IT leaders through its DiverseTech Apprenticeship Program.  Up to 25 Apprentices will be trained in cybersecurity, digital services and other IT-related fields through the program to help fill IT roles across City Government.  The program will begin with a 12-week Pre-Apprenticeship training designed by DPI and to ensure historically under-represented communities are aware of the program.  After completion, SDI will then hire, manage and mentor the Apprentices for the duration of the year-long program, providing salary and benefits along with professional development training.
