What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``DHS Cybersecurity On-the-Job Training Program Act'', seeks to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002. It establishes a voluntary program within the Department of Homeland Security to train employees who are not currently in cybersecurity roles. The program is led by the Director and involves consultation with the Under Secretary for Management. Training methods can include distance learning, in-classroom instruction, or on-the-job instruction. The Director is responsible for developing the curriculum and reporting on the program's progress. Additionally, the Under Secretary for Management will support recruitment and implement policies to encourage participation.
