Pepco, our parent company Exelon, and Public Sector Solutions Group (PS2G) recently celebrated the latest class to graduate from the Walter Reed Infrastructure Academy. Thirty three individuals completed a 12-week cybersecurity and IT training program aimed at preparing the graduates for careers in the energy and technology sectors.

Certificates were awarded to each graduate as a symbol of their achievements and a reminder that the skills learned throughout the program will equip them to protect energy infrastructure, power innovation, and serve their communities.

About the Walter Reed Infrastructure Program:

Launched in 2023, the program was created to offer residents from underserved communities in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County and Prince George’s County in Maryland to access practical, industry-aligned training. With five successful cohorts to date, PS2G has emphasized real-world experience and industry certification to prepare participants for long-term employment in high-demand fields.

Exelon and Pepco continue to support the program by organizing networking events, facility tours, and six-month apprenticeships offering hands-on experience in areas like software testing, project management, and cybersecurity policy. These efforts help participants build vital skills for navigating the digital transformation of the energy sector.
