The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) will partner with Catalyte, Inc. and Digital Network Group, LLC to provide a fully developed and subsidized operational training and apprenticeship program. This program will offer individuals who do not possess an IT background and qualifications a pathway to break into the IT industry and helps individuals develop long-term career opportunities while providing economic benefits to Maryland communities. “Through this innovative program, we are creating new economic and life-changing career opportunities for more Marylanders, in one of the most important sectors” said Governor Hogan. “As the United States continues to confront a historic and unprecedented labor shortage, we are advancing a bold workforce development agenda for Maryland.” The IT Innovative Workforce Solution is directly in alignment with Governor Hogan’s workforce development initiatives, including formally eliminating the four-year college degree requirement from thousands of state jobs and working with partners to recruit and market these roles to job seekers who are “Skilled Through Alternative Routes” (STARs). “We are excited to work with two great companies who share our passion for expanding the IT workforce to historically underutilized populations,” said DoIT Secretary Michael Leahy. The IT Innovative Workforce Solution  will identify individuals who possess the natural potential and ability to become talented information technology professionals, regardless of their background, education, and prior experience. Individuals who are selected for the program will go through an onboarding training program  and there is no cost to the individual once they successfully graduate.

DEA Warns of Brightly-Colored Fentanyl Used to Target Young Americans

WASHINGTON – The Drug Enforcement Administration is advising the public of an alarming emerging trend of colorful fentanyl available across the United States.  Since August 2022, DEA and our law enforcement partners seized brightly-colored fentanyl and fentanyl pills in 26 states.   Dubbed “rainbow fentanyl” in the media, this trend appears to be a new method used by drug cartels to sell highly addictive and potentially deadly fentanyl made to look like candy to children and young people.   Source : https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2022/08/30/dea-warns-brightly-colored-fentanyl-used-target-young-americans
