About This Project

CyberCorps 2.0 is a national cybersecurity talent pipeline modeled on medical residency programs. Participants receive fully funded 18-month intensive training (technical skills + real-world incident response) with full living stipend, in exchange for 3-year service commitment at government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, or public health institutions. Student loan forgiveness for existing debt sweetens the deal for career changers. A parallel 'Cyber Apprenticeship' track provides 6-month accelerated pathways for non-traditional candidates (veterans, community college graduates, career changers). Diversity targets ensure 50% women and underrepresented minorities. Modeled on Singapore's Cyber Security Agency talent program and the US SFS (Scholarship for Service) — but 10x the scale and with mandatory placement at highest-risk institutions.
