Partners
Our partners help us to amplify the impact in our communities. In collaboration with all sectors, we reach a broader audience and provide the support needed to guarantee the success of participants.
Our Corporate Partners bring great added value when they offer real-life experiences to youth and adults interested in the field of cybersecurity.
To effectively deliver our programs, we partner with nonprofits and community centers that service youth and are committed to help them explore fast-growing career paths like Cybersecurity.
In collaboration, we offer exploratory courses as part of afterschool programs/clubs, during school vacation, or their daily academic offer.
As part of our program offer, the Foundation provides hands-on experience, development of soft skills, mentoring/ coaching and support during job searching and while working. Through this, we are responding to the corporate demand for a more diverse workforce in the cybersecurity space.
To guarantee the success of our program we partner with schools, non-profits, NGOs and companies that have built strong relationships with youth and young adults and that are capable of offering the necessary social support services for them to succeed. Our training approach engages community colleges, local employers, workforce stakeholders and ed-tech innovators to provide tools, skills, credentials and the hands-on experience necessary to meet the demand for cybersecurity talent.
Our curriculum and instructional strategy are developed and validated through active engagement with leading corporations and cybersecurity leaders such as Fidelity Investments, Houghton Mifflin, Rapid7, Eastern Bank, Carbon Black, and Akamai.
Further, the content was built using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework and is currently mapped to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE). Our key partner, CyberWarrior Academy, is also a Certified Apprenticeship Provider by the Massachusetts Department of Labor.
We Invest In Our Partners As Well
