To encourage cyber security awareness and training early on at K-12 level, successful programs such as NSF GenCyber, NSF JRTOC Cyber Academy provides cyber security training for high school and middle school students intensively during the summer sessions. However, many of the program participants look for support to continue their journey towards a cybersecurity career which currently does not exist. The goal of the High School to 2Y/4Y College Cyber Bridge program is to connect these high school students to regional and national CAE-2Y and CAE-4Y programs and help in successful transition into a cybersecurity academic program at a CAE-2Y or CAE-4Y school.
This pathway helps students identify opportunities in cybersecurity and AI and connect with community college and four-year programs.
Activities include:
• CyberAI Summer Camps
• Career exploration
• College readiness workshops
• Faculty mentoring
• Student mentoring
The committee will have members from experienced high school cyber teachers and CAE-2Y and CAE-4Y faculty members with program experience in GenCyber and JRTOC Cyber Academy. Please visit the Get Involved page for more information.
