The American IBEW Cyber Workforce Initiative
Building the Nation’s First Union-Based Cybersecurity Workforce
In partnership with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the AFL-CIO, this initiative will train, certify, and deploy American workers into high-paying cybersecurity careers while strengthening national defense.:
America faces a growing wave of cyber threats—from ransomware attacks to international fraud networks—while simultaneously lacking a trained workforce to defend against them. This policy proposes a bold, practical solution: creating a national cybersecurity workforce pipeline through organized labor.
The IBEW Core Policy Commitments:
1. Launch the National Cyber Apprenticeship Program
- Establish paid, union-supported apprenticeships in cybersecurity
- Provide hands-on training in:
- Network defense
- Threat detection
- Digital forensics
- Create pathways for veterans, students, and career-switching workers
Goal: The IBEW Cyber Security Union will train tens of thousands of new cybersecurity professionals across the United States.
