The NSA/NCAE-C Immersive Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program

The University of New Haven was awarded a grant to lead a coalition of five colleges and universities across the United States to prepare individuals for AI, cybersecurity, and cyber threat analyst jobs. The Immersive Cybersecurity Workforce Development Program (ICWDP) offers free cybersecurity training for professionals and career changers interested in critical infrastructure sectors - energy, government facilities, finance, and telecommunications. US Citizens and Permanent Residents are invited to apply for our programs created to enhance your skills in Python, threat intelligence, networking, Machine Learning, cryptography and more! We are recruiting cohorts for Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and Spring 2026. Full scholarships are available for selected candidates.

ICWDP is a partnership between the University of New Haven, University of Hawai’i-Maui, Coastline College, Tennessee Technological University, and University of North Texas. This project is funded through an NSA/NCAE-C Workforce Development Grant.
