Project-Based Learning Program
As part of our mission to boost Virginia’s digital workforce, CCI is seeking corporate, government, and NGO partners for the CCI Project-Based Learning Program.
This program is designed to provide experiential learning opportunities to cyber and cyber-adjacent students attending a college or university within the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative’s network.
CCI partners will not only gain access to a talent pool of highly skilled future employees from across Virginia, but will receive full-service recruitment assistance for any projects.
Partners act as project sponsors providing projects for students as well as mentors to guide the project.
CCI will advertise, recruit, and pre-select candidates for the sponsor, presenting a competitive pool of choices. In accordance with CCI’s equitable access principles, CCI will provide stipends to students.
Our first effort involved a partnership with Northern Virginia Community College and CACI International, in which seven NOVA students will begin their program in the fall of 2023.
