Cyversity Presents “Community College Pathways to Cybersecurity Careers”
Join our partners Cyversity and NextGen Cyber on May 18th and 12 p.m. PT for a Bay Area Chapter May monthly speaker series entitled “Community College Pathways to Cybersecurity Careers,” featuring Krishnan Chellakarai – Founder of NextGen Cyber Talent and CISO of Gilead, Steven Booth – VP Product Management at Salesforce, Juan Soberanes – Engineer at Balbix, Nina Bachvarova, Engineer at San Francisco International Airport, Dante Alabastro, Red Team Lead Google and Christina Hanson, Architect at AppDynamics!
Cyversity and NextGen have collaborated since 2021 to provide underserved and underrepresented cyber career seekers with opportunities to develop technical and professional skills. The sweet spot in their outreach has been community colleges.
It is a little-known fact that for over a decade, community colleges were the only undergraduate institutions providing practical cybersecurity education. They continue to be where students and skill builders take courses that prepare them to earn industry certifications or associate degrees on pathways to jobs or higher cyber education.
