Turn your military experience into a paid, federal, cybersecurity career

Apply for and join VA’s Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program for Veterans.

The inaugural class of the Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program for Veterans (CAPV) completed its program in August 2026.

VA’s apprenticeship program turns your military discipline and mission focus into real cybersecurity skills.

You train hands-on at the VA Cybersecurity Operations Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia, working alongside experienced professionals.

Cybersecurity leaders say mentoring apprentices has re-energized even their most experienced staff and sharpened the whole team’s performance.
