This $349,999 federal project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports Zane State College's efforts to increase the number of skilled cybersecurity technicians in Appalachian Ohio.
The project involves realigning Zane State's existing cybersecurity curriculum with the NICE Cybersecurity Framework, and creating four new certificate programs in cybersecurity, cyber management, cyber analytics, and cyber networking. Project activities include developing and implementing the new cybersecurity curriculum, conducting outreach to high school students and teachers, and establishing cyber learning communities to support non-traditional students, high school participants, and two-year college faculty and students. The primary target audiences are two-year college faculty and students, rural residents, veterans, and high school students and teachers. The project aims to address workforce needs and economic challenges in Zane State's three-county Ohio service area.
