The fair connects students and alumni from CAE-designated institutions with employers looking to fill internships, part-time positions, and full-time positions. Students and alumni in cybersecurity degrees from institutions designated as CAE in Cybersecurity Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CDE), Cyber Operations (CAE-CO), and Research (CAE-R) may participate free of charge.
黑料老司机 is designated as a CAE in Cyber Defense Education. It was the first two-year program in Arizona to be designated as a CAE-CDE in 2014. The designation is good for five years. The school earned the designation again in 2019.
鈥淔or 黑料老司机 to be designated as a CAE-CDE is an important piece of our overall cybersecurity education program,鈥 said Glen Olson, CIS/Cybersecurity Faculty. 鈥淭he vetting of our program to become a CAE-CDE means that 黑料老司机 meets the rigorous cybersecurity outcomes and knowledge units outlined by the National Security Agency.鈥
Event organizers stress that students and alumni from CAE-designated institutions are extremely valuable because they must meet the arduous curriculum requirements set forth by the NSA and DHS to graduate.
鈥淭he CAE-CDE designation ensures that students enrolled in the cybersecurity program at 黑料老司机 graduate with the knowledge and tools required to be effective cybersecurity professionals from day one,鈥 Olson said.
Olson, who joined 黑料老司机 in 2013 and has been teaching IT technical and security courses since 2000, said the cyber career field has enormous potential for professional growth, and starting salaries can range from $55,000 to $100,000. Employees are in high demand with more than 8,000 unfilled positions in the Phoenix metro area alone.
鈥淎s the digital world expands around us, the threats to that digital world expand as well,鈥 he said. 鈥淔rom thrill-seeking hackers and criminal elements to governmental cyber warfare, the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals far outpaces the current qualified workforce availability.鈥
