501(c)(3) in formation. Operators and Gold Star Families.
// TRAIN Pillar · Workforce Programs
A wage-linked operator ladder converting veteran discipline, second-chance grit, and zero-experience aptitude into reviewable cyber capability. Anchored in an active Florida DOE Registered Apprenticeship sponsorship application (ATR Region 4) and an ESGR Statement of Support filed with the Department of Defense.
// The Operator Ladder
Compensated W-2 or fair-rate contractor logic — never unpaid-internship optics. Wage progression tied to what each operator can actually execute, not to credentials they cannot yet hold.
Each pipeline is structured for a specific human-capital reality. The Veteran Transition Program (VTP) is the flagship — built around the discipline, reporting rigor, and chain-of-command maturity transitioning service members already carry. The Second Chance Program (SCP) is mission-aligned, with strict verification that protects participants' development and the firm's credibility. The Zero Experience Program (ZEP) is for cybersecurity and physics alumni with high aptitude but no prior cyber work history, placed on the same operator ladder rather than oversold a fantasy curriculum.
// Registered Apprenticeship Sponsorship
The Florida DOE Apprenticeship & Technical Region 4 office (Tampa Bay counties) is the U.S. Department of Labor-authorized registration agency for Registered Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship in Florida. CysecIn's sponsorship application is in active processing — the formal infrastructure for the operator ladder above.
