Students in cybersecurity-related fields gain access to vital public and private sector work experience and even receive substantial student loan assistance. Participants selected for the program will be guaranteed a two-year placement at a federal agency with cybersecurity needs. Before the end of their federal service, participants will be invited to apply for full-time positions with the program’s private sector partners.
