This fast-growing organization is dedicated to closing the critical gap in cybersecurity workforce needs and available work- ers. "Cleveland Commu- nity College is pleased to join the Carolina Cyber Network," said Dr. Jason Hurst, president. "We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues across the state to address the pressing issue of the cy- bersecurity talent gap. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive training program that produces highly skilled cybersecurity professionals for years to come." In addition to joining the Carolina Cyber Network, CCC is seeking the Center of Academic Excellence- Cyber Defense designation for its IT Network Techni- cian degree program. The designation is awarded by the joint sponsors of the National Centers of Aca- demic Excellence in Cy- bersecurity Program, the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. Organizations that re- ceive this des- ignation must be regionally a c c r e d i t e d U.S. institu- tions of higher education and must meet rigorous requirements re- lated to producing cyber- security professionals. It can take a year or more to complete the application process. Joining the Caro- lina Cyber Network with CCC are the University of North Carolina Wilming- ton, Isothermal Commu- nity College and Johnston Community College. CCN now has 18 four-year and twoyear member schools, all in North Carolina. "We are excited to part- ner with these schools to further grow and strengthen the cybersecu- rity talent pool available in North Carolina," said Dr. Mark Sorrells, president of Fayetteville Technical Community College, which is a co-founder and leader of the three-year-old CCN organization. Sorrells said the four new CCN members ex- hibit the core values of the Carolina Cyber Network: equipping students with "hands-on" technical skills, essential life skills and work-based learning ex- periences that prepare the students to be "job-ready" to serve the state's com- munities through employ- ment in public and private agencies. In addition to Fayette- ville Tech and the four new members, CCN members are Blue Ridge Community College, Caldwell Commu- nity College and Technical Institute, Catawba Valley Community College, Eliza- beth City State University, Forsyth Technical Com- munity College, Gaston College, Montreat College, North Carolina A&T State University, Piedmont Com- munity College, Richmond Community College, Stanly Community College, Wake Technical Community Col- lege and Wayne Commu- nity College.
