Company to Contribute Expertise to Cyber Workforce Accelerator Program
\nBCR Cyber, a leading provider of end-to-end cyber training and employment services, today announced that Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) has become a member of the BCR Cyber Strategic Industry Partner Consortium. This consortium, composed of more than 40 public and private organizations, provides strategic guidance to ensure BCR Cyber\u2019s training programs align with current cybersecurity industry standards and workforce demands.
\nThis year, BCR Cyber introduced the Cyber Workforce Accelerator (CWA) Workforce Development (WFD) Program. Fully funded by the Maryland Department of Labor, the program trains 1,100 Maryland residents at no cost to participants. The WFD initiative is built on BCR Cyber\u2019s Security Operations Center (SOC) Operations Analyst I (SOCOA I) Training and Certification, an Industry-Recognized Credential (IRC).<\/p>\n

The direction we will receive from Lockheed Martin on our training programs will help program participants develop the skills needed for today\u2019s ever-evolving cyber workforce.\u201d\u2014 Michael Spector, President and CEO, BCR Cyber<\/p>\n

Lockheed Martin\u2019s involvement will directly influence the design and delivery of BCR Cyber\u2019s curriculum \u2014 spanning foundational concepts to applied skills \u2014 ensuring participants receive relevant, job-focused training. By integrating real-world industry expertise, BCR Cyber ensures its programs remain practical, current, and closely connected to workforce opportunities, helping address the cybersecurity talent shortage in Maryland.
\n\u201cThe direction we will receive from Lockheed Martin on our training programs is based on experiential situations and will help program participants develop the skills needed for today\u2019s ever-evolving cyber workforce,\u201d says Michael Spector, President and CEO of BCR Cyber. \u201cBCR Cyber\u2019s employer consortium is key to the success of our workforce development program and to helping Maryland meet a growing need for skilled IT and cyber professionals.\u201d
\nIn addition to shaping curriculum, Lockheed Martin and other consortium members will actively engage with program graduates, recruiting from the trained talent pool to fill critical cybersecurity roles within their organizations. Consortium members also have the option to enroll their own employees in BCR Cyber\u2019s upskilling programs, creating a seamless pipeline between training and employment.
\nMembership in BCR Cyber\u2019s Strategic Industry Partner Consortium is free and includes ongoing networking and promotional opportunities. More information about BCR Cyber can be found at www.bcrcyber.com.
