The Federal Cyber Workforce Training Act of 2025 requires the National Cyber Director to develop a comprehensive plan for establishing a centralized federal institute dedicated to training the government's cybersecurity workforce. The institute would provide role-specific training for newly hired federal cyber workers and those transitioning to mid-career positions, as well as training for human resources staff involved in recruiting and managing cyber personnel. The plan must address curriculum development aligned with national cybersecurity standards, include both in-person and virtual learning options, incorporate hands-on training and skill assessments, and establish a badging system to verify qualifications—while accepting applicants regardless of educational background. The National Cyber Director must submit the detailed plan to Congress within 180 days and provide a briefing within 270 days, including funding estimates and required authorities, though no additional congressional appropriations are authorized for the bill itself.
