As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Cyber
Workforce and Education Strategy (NCWES), ClearanceJobs has pledged
to enhance its outreach to cleared cyber talent and hiring
professionals through innovative programs and resources. In October
alone, the platform registered over 6,000 new IT professionals,
including 1,500 new cybersecurity specialists.
To support these professionals and promote skills-based hiring,
ClearanceJobs is launching a series of initiatives, including:
- A new video and article series highlighting over 250
cyber skills-based positions currently posted on the site.
- Weekly articles and bi-weekly livestreams to guide
cleared candidates on applying for skills-based cyber roles.
- An email campaign tailored for registered professionals
with cyber critical skills but without a college degree.
National Cyber Director Harry Coker praised ClearanceJobs during
his remarks, stating, “ClearanceJobs will encourage skills-based
hiring by providing new resources to both candidates and hiring
managers for how to apply and hire for skills-based roles.”
ClearanceJobs President Evan Lesser attended the event held at
Hinds Community College in Mississippi. Speaking on the commitment
he said, “Our commitment to skills-based hiring ensures that
cleared professionals with the right expertise can connect with
meaningful opportunities, and employers can build stronger, more
diverse teams to meet the nation’s cybersecurity challenges.”
This recognition aligns with the White House’s efforts to
develop locally-driven ecosystems that connect students and
professionals with meaningful cybersecurity careers. The
Administration’s recently launched Cyber Workforce and Education
Ecosystem Toolkit emphasizes partnerships between employers,
academia, non-profits, and governments to create robust talent
pipelines.
ClearanceJobs joins other private-sector leaders in advancing
the Administration’s vision. Their continued commitment to
innovation ensures cleared professionals are well-equipped to meet
the nation’s growing cybersecurity demands while fostering economic
growth and security.
