SLCGP Bulletin - Training Announcement, Feb. 2025
The NH SLCGP Expands Training Course Offerings for Eligible Entities!
As some of you remember, two years ago, the New Hampshire SLCGP funded 131 Security + certifications for New Hampshire Public-Sector IT Professionals.
By leveraging the power of the Statewide Contract for Training, we successfully negotiated a “Buy one Get one” deal for training credits for the SLCGP. As a result, there are $2M of training available!
Last year, the program expanded to include 17 of the most popular / in demand Individual Cybersecurity Certifications for individuals. Examples include Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Cisco Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA). So far, 80 classes have been requested or completed under this expanding program.
This year, we worked with our vendor to significantly expand the number and types of training available to all the municipal organizations and K12’s across New Hampshire. We are now offering, at no cost to communities, 33 training courses including:
