About
Our Programs
What We Are Solving
The world is facing a massive deficit of cybersecurity talent due to limited high-quality hands-on training programs. This shortage is compounded by the inequity in accessibility of training for diverse audiences.
We aim to transform lives by minimizing the barriers that economically disadvantaged communities face when pursuing cybersecurity careers.
By creating equity in access, we are changing the face of the global workforce and creating generational impact.
Donations given for the Cyber Empowerment Fund through Give Miami Day will go towards student tuition assistance for top tier, skills-based cybersecurity training, including student and job placement support.
