Cybersecurity Workforce Program

About the program

The Digital Transformation Center presents the Cybersecurity Workforce Program. Designed to equip participants with the skills needed to excel in cybersecurity, this program offers a flexible learning path tailored to different levels of expertise.

This program is the result of a collaborative effort led by the University of Louisville. As part of a national initiative, UofL is spearheading a Coalition of schools to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity curriculum. Each school in this coalition is designated by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a National Center of Academic Excellence (NCAE) in Cyber Defense, contributing their unique expertise and skills in cybersecurity systems.
