Our Coalition of Educational Institutions
The nation's top colleges and universities have joined forces as CyberSkills2Work institutions to spawn a new generation of cybercrime fighters. Scholars of schools designated as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) are grooming talent for cybersecurity work. These NCAE-Cs, delegated by the National Security Agency, are training bright minds to fuel the cyberworkforce and safeguard virtual information.
CyberSkills2Work institutions collaborate to develop training curricula centered around the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Then, they use state-of-the-art techniques to teach training programs that align with NICE Framework work roles for America's workforce. After receiving training from CyberSkills2Work institutions, program graduates are highly qualified to tackle the demands of various cybersecurity jobs.
