Over 500,000 open cybersecurity-related positions make cybersecurity one of the fastest-growing industry sectors. Purdue University created the Cyber Apprenticeship Program to fill these open positions in partnership with the Department of Labor to connect industry partners with motivated individuals through cyber-apprenticeship programs. These programs all provide earn and learn opportunities for participants with compensated experiential, effort-based employment and an industry-recognized educational component.
