Bill to Boost DHS Cybersecurity Hiring Advances to the House of Representatives. The bill would encourage DHS to boost the pool of IT security job candidates by creating a tuition-for-work fellowship.

The legislation is needed because of a dearth of qualified IT security personnel at the department, says Rep. William Keating, D-Mass. He cited a report that 22 percent of the jobs in DHS’s National Protection and Programs Directorate were vacant in June.”]
