This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enable the convergence of public, private, and education sectors to prepare learners for the cybersecurity convergence workforce. The $650,000 award, granted on September 15, 2024 with a completion date of August 31, 2027, will develop educational and training materials in the form of virtual lab libraries for operational technology (OT)/industrial control systems (ICS) and IT cybersecurity. These materials will be adopted by high schools, community colleges, and universities in the Carolinas. The project will also modernize the academic cloud with new cybersecurity equipment, run an internship program at businesses and government agencies, and organize tutorials with several communities of practice to upskill professionals and train instructors. As a sub-award under this grant, Stanly Community College in North Carolina will deploy equipment, operate a data center, develop virtual labs for ICS cybersecurity, and coordinate course offerings with other regional institutions.
