There is a critical need for skilled workers in the Fort Meade region in the areas of defense, homeland security and technology as a result of growth from BRAC and cyber-security initiatives.

Addressing these concerns has become a priority for the Fort Meade Alliance, which has spearheaded two major student programs to get the region’s youth on the right path and businesses involved in the education process.
