In collaboration with the Center for Cybersecurity at the University of West Florida, Augusta University is a proud partner of the National Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program. The National Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program, CyberSkills2Work, was created to recruit, prepare and place transitioning military members, transitioning first responders, and veterans into cybersecurity work roles in some of our nation's critical infrastructures. Augusta University was chosen as a coalition partner to provide an educational pathway for transitioning military members or veterans at Fort Gordon.
Interested students, who are transitioning military members or veterans, must have at least a cumulative 2.5 GPA and a regionally-accredited baccalaureate degree to be considered for admission into the program. If accepted into the Workforce Development Program, students educational expenses will be covered.
Admissions deadline for the Summer 2022 semester is April 1. Email us for more information or if you have additional questions about the program.
The Cyber Workforce Transition Program is Augusta University's pathway in the CyberSkills2Work initiative. Geared towards transitioning military members, participants in the Cyber Workforce Transition Program can receive our Cyber Defender Certificate as well as qualify to take the CompTIA Network+ and CompTIA Security+ certification tests.
