According to the college, students will gain real-life experience through participation in coursework with the college and this new partnership, with training content aligned with Ivy Tech's curriculum and certification requirements. The company's "Cyber Range" will also serve as a key component, being able to simulate real-world cyber threats through a highly interactive, gamified environment.
"This partnership is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative and relevant training opportunities to our students," said Aco Sikoski, chancellor of the Valparaiso, Michigan City and LaPorte campuses. "This initiative supports Indiana's vision of becoming a hub for technological advancement while positioning Ivy Tech as a leader in cutting-edge cybersecurity education."
"This innovative partnership extends beyond Porter County, encompassing the Ivy Tech Lake County campus, further expanding access to these cutting-edge cybersecurity training resources for students across Northwest Indiana," said Ivy Tech Lake County Chancellor Marcos Rodriquez. "Both campuses will leverage CyberProAI's technology to enhance their existing cybersecurity programs and better prepare graduates for in-demand careers in this critical field."
"Our partnership with Ivy Tech is an opportunity to deliver highly customized, practical training that equips students with the skills needed to excel in the cybersecurity workforce," said Oron Mincha, general manager of CyberProAI North America.
