You are invited to a meeting to hear about a new initiative which aims meet Industry demand for workforce preparedness in graduating students by implementing the Proven Cybersecurity Workforce Alliance (CWA) model. This is a great opportunity for students to develop the skills employers want to hire into well paid careers in Cybersecurity/Risk.
