Monday, November 9, 2020Saturday, November 14, 2020

The 2020 National Cybersecurity Career Awareness Week takes place November 9-14. There is a clear need for a strong workforce of cybersecurity professionals. The NCMF is excited to help encourage students to pursue a career in cyber by offering a wide variety of #CyberChats for students, parents, and teachers via our Nepris online classroom. Our #CyberChats are presented by cyber professionals and experts. From new cyber professionals to the original Queens of Code, students can learn from people with the knowledge, experience, and passion needed to help them plan for and navigate a career in cyber.
