Today's challenges cannot be solved with yesterdays methods. There is a great need for skilled cyber professionals, but few entry-level jobs and places to learn. This session will talk about work I have done with several different universities (University of Southern California, University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Grand Canyon University) to help in a variety of fashions. Particular attention will be given to work as part of the CHOPS (CyberSecurity Hands On Problem Solving) certification program at Arizona State, and to work done with USC related to their MBV program.

Lessons learned, best practices from work done with universities to address cyber skills gap and increase internship, apprenticeship and entry level hiring.
