Position Summary

Program Summary :

CSUSB and the California Department of Labor entered into a partnership to implement the Inland Empire Cybersecurity Initiative (IECI), from an NSA-funded Community Development grant intended to provide a rapid increase in direct job placement in well-paying cybersecurity careers while providing students with the ability to gain real-world experience.

Since then, CSUSB has continued to move forward on the development of a Workforce and Apprenticeship Tech Hub in support of the IECI mission.

The Workforce Development Center, in partnership with the Cybersecurity Center at CSUSB will provide the venue for community college faculty, university faculty, students, and employers to collaborate in a security operations training and workspace to include research spaces, advanced broadband, specialized equipment for a training Cybersecurity Operations Center, improved technology, and flexible spaces for career preparation.

This project will provide a rapid increase in direct job placement in well-paying anchor careers while providing students the ability to earn while they learn.

This will both alleviate the need to work in menial employment but increase opportunities for meaningful employment while in school.

While the Workforce and Apprenticeship Hub initially serves careers in the cybersecurity and supply chain fields, the mechanism built will accommodate future workforce needs.

The partners in this project support significant collaboration and an educational pipeline for career jobs from high school, community college, and university, as well as retraining efforts which benefit the economic development of the entire region.
