Lee, Rosen promote cybersecurity apprentice bills

Rep. Susie Lee and Sen. Jacky Rosen appeared together in Henderson Friday to promote their identical bills in the House and Senate to create cybersecurity apprentice programs.

Cybersecurity experts warn there is already a shortage of people who can fill jobs for which demand is only expected to grow.

Under the legislation, which the Nevada Democrats introduced in May, the Department of Labor would make grants on a competitive basis to businesses, educational institutions, state or local workforce development agencies, or community organizations and non-profits.

The grants could be used to develop cybersecurity instruction programs, provide support for apprenticeships, recruit potential apprentices, and market apprenticeship to employers.
