BCR Cyber, a leading provider of comprehensive cybersecurity training, certification, and job placement services, recently announced that it received two additional $250,000 grants from the Maryland Department of Labor’s Employment Advancement Right Now (EARN) Maryland program. Manis Canning & Associates is proud to represent BCR Cyber to assist them with meeting Maryland’s critical cyber workforce needs.
EARN Maryland awards funding to strategic industry partnerships that comprise employers, non-profits, higher education institutions, local workforce development boards, and local governments. Based upon employer-identified training needs, partnerships provide education and skills training to unemployed and underemployed Marylanders. The program also includes career advancement strategies for incumbent workers, leading to a more highly skilled workforce in the state.
A prominent grantee of EARN Maryland, BCR Cyber has trained thousands of students and placed over 80 percent of them in IT/cybersecurity positions and is actively helping to close the cybersecurity workforce gap in the state.
“We applaud Governor Moore’s decision to expand EARN program grants and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Maryland Department of Labor to train and cultivate the state’s workforce,” says Michael Spector, President, BCR Cyber. “EARN Maryland is an invaluable program not only for creating competitive, well-paying career opportunities for aspiring cybersecurity professionals, but also for meeting a critical need for filling thousands of open cybersecurity positions in Maryland.”
