The International Cybersecurity Education Collaborative (ICEC) is based on a collaborative network established between UK and US cyber security educators, in partnership with the US Federally funded, National Cybersecurity Training  and Education Center (NCyTE). This exciting program aims to build further collaboration with like-minded countries.  More information at the link below:

Gain hands-on, relevant, industry knowledge to apply in the classroom

The purpose of this project is to support incumbent faculty in both updating their technical skills and acquiring new and current knowledge of the workplace. Graduates of academic cybersecurity programs are highly sought-after by private industry and government, making it essential for faculty to have a comprehensive understanding of the workplace, work roles, and projects in which their students will be involved upon entering the workforce. By incorporating this knowledge into their teaching, faculty can produce better-prepared graduates.

Externships are defined as: 

Immersive experiences in a real-world setting (e.g., cybersecurity operations center) where faculty can gain current knowledge of cybersecurity techniques, tools, skills, and knowledge of the workplace with a minimum of 80 hours of participation.

The externship program is overseen by Kyle Jones at Sinclair Community College (on behalf of NCyTE), who will also verify the participation of the faculty participants. Upon successful completion of the program, faculty participants will be eligible for a stipend provided by the National Cybersecurity Training & Education Center (NCyTE).

Catalyzing Computing and Cybersecurity in Community Colleges (C5) was a project funded by the National Science Foundation. The project supported and enlarged the network of community colleges across the nation that are excelling in cybersecurity education, producing more and better prepared graduates, and ultimately leading to a more secure nation.
