The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), in partnership with the White House, U.S. Department of Commerce, and other federal agencies, recently announced a 120-Day Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Sprint, to develop and train a skilled and diverse cybersecurity workforce. This national campaign encourages employers to explore Registered Apprenticeship as a recruitment, training, and retention strategy.
As the only program in the state with a Cybersecurity Support Technician Registered Apprenticeship program, Manchester Community College is poised to support this initiative through a partnership with ApprenticeshipNH, which has a history of assisting New Hampshire employers with Registered Apprenticeships, pre-apprenticeships, and programs with high school students as proven recruitment strategies.
ApprenticeshipNH, in cooperation with the USDOL's Office of Apprenticeship, helps employers fill workforce gaps by creating a pipeline of skilled workers. Known as the “Earn As You Learn” model, ApprenticeshipNH combines paid on-the-job training with classroom education. Participating employers have experienced increased productivity, boosted employee retention, improved company culture, and ensured knowledge transfer when filling retiring positions with qualified, skilled workers.
