Key Points

  • This bill creates a $10 million pilot program to help trade schools and colleges teach cybersecurity. The goal is to make sure people working on the nation's "critical infrastructure"—like power plants, water systems, and transportation—know how to protect these systems from digital attacks.
  • Schools would partner with at least two local businesses to apply for grants of up to $500,000. These partnerships will create new classes or update existing ones to include hands-on training, like internships or simulations, that prepare students for high-demand tech jobs.
  • As hackers increasingly target essential services, the government wants to ensure the people running these systems have the right skills. The program requires schools to update their lessons every year so students are always learning about the newest types of cyber threats.
  • The bill also focuses on helping more people enter the field, including students from low-income families, single parents, and people with disabilities. It aims to build a diverse workforce that can keep the country's most important technology safe and running smoothly.
