RESTON,
Va., April 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, Peraton announced its support of the Allowing
Contractors to Choose Employees for Select Skills ("ACCESS") Act.
Spearheaded by Representatives Nancy
Mace and Raja Krishnamoorthi,
this legislation would amend Title 41 and remove the requirements
for candidates to have minimum experience or a specific educational
degree from public contracts. This bipartisan effort makes it
easier for companies working with the federal government to hire
the best talent based on critical skills.
"This will give more people a chance to
serve in key areas by lowering barriers and hiring for talent, not
degrees."
There are currently more than 700,000 open jobs related to tech
and cybersecurity. Since its founding, Peraton has been a leading
force in the education, recruitment, and development of cyber
professionals across the nation. The company remains steadfast in
its commitment to eliminating barriers to entry through
strategic partnerships with educational institutions, like
George Mason University and the
Northern Virginia Community College.
Working alongside the Northern
Virginia Chamber of Commerce, Peraton is empowering the next
generation of cyber professionals and creating a more
accessible, diverse workforce.
"The ACCESS Act will give more people a chance to serve in key
areas of tech and cybersecurity, lowering barriers and hiring for
talent, not degrees," said Scott
Cooper, vice president, Government and Public Relations,
Peraton.
