NCyTE's rapid growth to a national program will ensure the next generation of cybersecurity professionals are ready and available to protect national and economic threats. I have confidence that this program produces more quality graduates capable of meeting the demanding challenges in cybersecurity and to fill the increasing demand for qualified candidates. A well-deserved congratulations to the tireless NCyTE team to become the nationally recognized Advanced Technological Education (ATE) center!"

We're thrilled to see NCyTE at Whatcom Community College be the recipient of this investment that will increase the capacity of community colleges around the country to accelerate the much needed increase in skilled, cybersecurity professionals.
