Cyber Camps

Cyber Camps feature one week of specialized cyber security training presented by college faculty, cyber security experts, a job fair, and a “capture the flag” competition and awards ceremony on the last day.

Cyber Camps provide crucial skills development and enable us to tap into the tremendous talent across our nation to identify those with a passion for security and a desire to put their skills to good use in addressing our cyber security workforce challenges. In addition to providing expert training for participants to improve their skills and marketability, the Cyber Camps will provide attendees the opportunity to engage with major technology companies and government agencies at onsite job fairs for scholarship, internship and employment opportunities.
