Atlantic City Awarded $1M Grant for Cyber Security Crime Prevention Training (Part One)
The U.S. Humanitarian Aid Response Team Cares, (U.S.HART Cares), nonprofit organization will provide cyber security training for 20 Atlantic City residents.
ATLANTIC CITY--On April 18, 2024, James Whitehead of the U.S. Humanitarian Aid Response Team Cares, (U.S.HART Cares), nonprofit organization announced that the organization would receive a $1 million grant for cyber security training. Haddon Antonucci, director of policy from US-Rep. Jeff Van Drew's office, and others were invited to the announcement at Whitehead's local office.
Cybersecurity specialists have been called the new plumbers, welders, and electricians of the 21st century. They don’t need a four-year degree. However, they can command a living wage and find gainful employment after months, not years, of training because America needs to fill 5 million more jobs in this emerging industry. That’s the message legislators and business leaders alike brought to the nation’s capital on Friday, March 22, 2024, for the “Bipartisan Congressional National Emergency RX5 Cybersecurity Initiative Forum.” Whitehead organized the meeting in Washington D.C. and has long been a proponent for turning Atlantic City into a cybersecurity hub by the sea.
