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.
