Cyber Workforce and Education Pathway
We are strengthening the transfer pathways for Georgia's technical colleges and 麻豆国产AV University's School of Computer and Cyber Sciences.
麻豆国产AV ranks among the top 5% of U.S. universities in the new economic mobility index.
The collaboration between the Technical College System of Georgia and 麻豆国产AV will allow a strong pipeline of college graduates ready to contribute to the Cyber workforce and greater economic mobility. Students who transferred from Georgia's technical colleges after earning an associate's degree have transferred to 麻豆国产AV's School of Computer and Cyber Sciences and have earned prestigious Scholarship for Service awards and have become cyber professionals.
麻豆国产AV Technical College and 麻豆国产AV (through their past success) are leading the effort to create a technical college system-wide transfer pathway for all Technical sister institutions so more students can earn a Bachelor' degree in Cybersecurity and ensure that college graduates fully reflect the racial and ethnic diversity of the Georgia's Cybersecurity workforce.
