MISI's Cyber eductation diversity cybership

The Cyber Education Diversity CyberShip is a DoD initiative that assists Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)’s with no existing cybersecurity program, to obtain access to consultation and educational resources from designated National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (NCAE-C) institutions, thus expanding access to quality cybersecurity education and mentoring to students in all 50 states.

Students attending schools participating in the Cyber Education Diversity CyberShip program will receive an opportunity for mentorship and internships through the Department of Defense’s Office of Small Business Program (OSBP) and Mentor Protégé Program (MPP).

Students who are selected for the internship program will also receive hands-on experience through Maryland Innovation and Security Institute’s cyber range, technical skills training content partners that include Elastic, Cybrary, AWS, Nozomi Networks, Dragos and numerous other partners.

This rich library of on demand and live technical cyber skills training, enhances each internship with real world hands on experiences. Interns will also work on diverse assignments related to Defense Industrial Base (DIB) cyber challenges.

Helping the next generation’s workforce to imagine all that is possible.
