Based in San Francisco, with more than 90,000 vets strong and 20 chapters across the country, VetsinTech is the leading national, nonpartisan, non-profit devoted 100% to sprboarding veterans into tech careers. They recently launched a new initiative.
WHO: VetsinTech, the leading national non-profit dedicated to supporting veterans through tech-based programs and opportunities in education, employment, and entrepreneurship, in collaboration with its tech employer partners.
WHAT: The Fed Vets-to-Tech Initiative, a new program designed to transition veterans formerly employed by the federal government, and recently laid off, into high-demand, private-sector cybersecurity and tech roles. This initiative complements a new, generous $1 million grant from Craig Newmark that is dedicated to training veterans in cybersecurity positions.
WHEN: The program launches immediately. Veterans can also learn about education opportunities and employment at the virtual VetsinTech National Conference “The Invasion” on Thursday, March 27th, 2025.
WHY: With the U.S. facing a severe cybersecurity workforce shortage and with foreign cyber threats on a steep rise, this initiative bridges the growing talent gap by leveraging recently laid off veterans’ existing leadership experience, security clearances, and technical expertise.
VetsinTech has identified thousands of active jobs open today for cybersecurity and tech roles across its employer partners.
