Participating students will also receive the benefit of early assurance admission to Trocaire and advanced standing in its cybersecurity AAS degree program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo keep pace with the rapidly growing demand for cybersecurity technicians here in Western New York, the goal of this project is to create an educational pathway to a full-time IT career, especially among diverse students who are currently underrepresented in the technology sector,\u201d said Dr. Jennifer Blickwedehl, associate vice president for academic affairs, Trocaire College. \u201cThrough education and awareness, we also hope to dispel common misconceptions about needing a math or technology background to be successful in an IT career and instead focus on the necessary skills and personality attributes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Science Foundation\u2019s Advanced Technological Education program focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trocaire will partner with two local high schools to offer the program beginning this fall through May 2025. In addition to the courses, Trocaire will also provide professional development and IT instructor training for high school teachers, assist students with individualized support and mentoring, and strengthen students\u2019 connections to the workforce through work-based learning opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congressman Brian Higgins said, \u201cThis federal grant supports partnerships that prepare young people for jobs in high-demand fields. We commend Trocaire for leading this initiative, training the next generation of Western New York\u2019s workforce, and giving students a jump-start on a promising career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To address the growing demand for entry-level cybersecurity technicians, Trocaire College today announced it is the recipient of a $336,458 Advanced Technological Education grant through the National Science Foundation.
