Veterans Cybersecurity Group (VCSG) has announced an expansion of its Department of Defense (DoD) Approved SkillBridge Program to include Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) and Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) training at no cost to eligible transitioning active-duty U.S. service members.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has estimated that over 80,000 contractors will need to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) prior to bidding on Federal Contracts.

This expansion aims to meet the growing demand for certified assessors. To this end, VCSG has partnered with CyberAB as a Licensed Training Provider (LTP), allowing the incorporation of CAICO Approved Training Material (CATM) delivered by CyberAB Certified Instructors meeting the mandatory training requirements for testing and certification.

Paul Gozaloff, VCSG Managing Consultant, highlighted the program's benefits: "By uniting these two DoD Programs and building a certified workforce pipeline of CMMC assessors creates a win-win-win situation. Transitioning service members gain immediate employment opportunities, Certified 3rd Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) access a qualified workforce, and federal contractors avoid certification backlogs."
