Description: This is a cybersecurity pre-apprenticeship conducted 100% online in a virtual classroom setting via Zoom videoconferencing. Participants select a job role and a cybersecurity case to work on in teams. There are weekly Lessons to complete outside the virtual classroom that take about 1 1⁄2 hours to complete, which consist of directed readings and videos. In the virtual classroom setting, teams prepare weekly deliverables and present them to subject matter expert mentors that critique and assess them. This results in a valuable exchange of information and a dynamic learning environment. A core component of the program is learning about the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework, a gold-standard framework used by corporate America.
