US Gov Removing Four-Year-Degree Requirements for Cyber Jobs
Security Week – The US government this week announced the removal of “unnecessary degree requirements” in favor of skills-based hiring as part of an aggressive push to fill half-a-million open cybersecurity jobs.
The ‘Serve for America’ initiative, announced by National Cyber Director Harry Coker, removes the four-year degree requirement in federal IT contracts and will push agencies to hire based on experience, certifications, and aptitude tests.
