Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act of 2018

Bill 115 s 3437, also known as the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act of 2018, aims to establish a program within the federal government to enhance the cybersecurity workforce. The bill seeks to address the growing need for skilled cybersecurity professionals by creating a rotational program that allows employees to gain experience in different agencies and departments.

Under this legislation, federal employees in cybersecurity-related positions would have the opportunity to participate in rotational assignments at other agencies or departments. This program is designed to provide employees with a broader understanding of cybersecurity issues and challenges across the federal government, as well as to develop their skills and expertise in the field.

The bill also requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to establish guidelines for the program, including eligibility criteria, duration of assignments, and evaluation criteria. Additionally, the OPM would be responsible for coordinating with federal agencies to ensure the successful implementation of the program. Overall, the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act of 2018 aims to strengthen the federal government's cybersecurity workforce by providing employees with valuable experience and training opportunities. By promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing among agencies, this program seeks to enhance the government's ability to protect against cyber threats and safeguard sensitive information.
