The National Cybersecurity Center will begin a free, four-month virtual class Tuesday that puts adult students on a path to well-paying jobs in the cybersecurity industry.
The center’s fundamentals of IT (information technology) class is designed for students to earn an initial certification and up to two others that would qualify them for an entry-level cybersecurity position, said Thomas Russell, the nonprofit’s cyber education program manager and instructor for the class. They will meet from 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday from Jan. 19-May 27 and will include lessons on computer hardware and software, internet technologies, programming, cybersecurity and information technology career planning.
