Two one and we are live. Okay. I've got some urgent stuff to let you guys know about. That's why I decided to just go ahead, go live. So I'm on live. This is a podcast combo course podcast. First of all, my name is Bruce and I do this once a week. At least lately. I've been doing these a little bit more and I wanted to tell you guys about this national cyber workforce and education summit that happened on July last month.

And it's a bunch of free training for entry level cyber security people. And I thought that this was important enough that I should let you guys know what's going on. So if you guys did know my name is Bruce, what I do is cyber security training and also help people to get into this career. If you're interested in this, follow me on YouTube, tons of free information, tons of free stuff out there.

All of this is not paid. I'm just trying to help people out. That's the name of the game for me? I'm good. My life is good. I'm just trying to help y'all other people out. And that's what this is all about. So what this is gonna be is a breakdown of some of the free training that's out there.

There's a huge shortage of cyber security people. There's something like seven over 700,000 cyber security positions that are open. And it's due to a lot of things it's due to people retiring it's due to  people getting out of this career path. And they just can't retain people and there's a huge need for cyber security.

So they put together this initiative to pull more people in teach people and they pulled in all these other organizations to do that. So you've got everything from the private sector to different departments within the department of defense that are promoting this.  and all of the stuff I'm about to tell you is coming directly from the white house dot coms white house, white house.gov.

If you're interested.  like I said, a lot of this is free. Let's start off with department of labor and commerce. So department of labor and commerce is doing 120 day cyber security apprenticeship.

And this is already started. So if you are interested in this, you gotta go to this.  now you can either Google this right now, or you can go to combo courses.com where I have put all this slide deck with all of these links that I'm about to show you are on my site.
