Sinclair Community College (SCC; OH), Brookdale Community College (BCC; NJ) and Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC; IL) propose to increase the placement of highly qualified cybersecurity professionals in government positions for the Community College Cyber Pilot Program (C3P). This proposed project is in alignment with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018. Through cohort-based learning, SFS scholars at each of the four-partner colleges will collaborate on activities and events, including student skills competitions, certification preparation workshops, visits to local federal agencies, and participation in job fairs. Experiential learning will allow students to gain skills from real cybersecurity vulnerabilities and attacks experienced by businesses and organizations. SCC is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense 2-Year Education (CAE-2Y) and MVCC is an Advanced Technical Education (ATE) National Resource Center.The program will be based on several successful adult learning practices: cohort learning, experiential learning, competency-based education, and one-on-one, holistic student support. The objectives are to: 1) research, develop, and document new strategic roles community colleges can play in increasing the number of cybersecurity professionals employed in government sectors; 2) build effective collaborations between educational institutions, business, industry, and government; 3) prepare 24 Scholars For Service (SFS) to help meet government need for highly qualified cybersecurity professionals; 4) disseminate best practice models designed for replication by other colleges across the country, including: new protocols for conducting prior learning assessments to assist veterans in applying their education and experience to cybersecurity disciplines; and best practices for recruiting, selecting, and supporting non-cybersecurity Bachelor degree students through cybersecurity education programs (cohort models and success coaching).Co-funding for this project is provided from the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) and NSF Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) programs, reflecting alignment of the project with major emphases of the ATE program on involvement of community colleges and the S-STEM program on financial and co-curricular support for high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Sinclair Community College（SCC; OH）、Brookdale Community College（BCC; NJ）和Moraine Valley Community College（MVCC; IL）提议增加高素质网络安全专业人员在社区学院网络试点计划（C3 P）政府职位中的职位。该项目符合2018年《国防授权法》。通过基于队列的学习，四个合作学院的SFS学者将在活动和事件上进行合作，包括学生技能竞赛，认证准备研讨会，访问当地联邦机构以及参加招聘会。体验式学习将使学生从企业和组织经历的真实的网络安全漏洞和攻击中获得技能。SCC被指定为网络防御2年教育（CAE-2 Y）的国家学术卓越中心，MVCC是高级技术教育（ATE）国家资源中心。该计划将基于几个成功的成人学习实践：队列学习，体验式学习，基于能力的教育，以及一对一，全面的学生支持。其目标是：1）研究，开发和记录社区学院在增加政府部门雇用的网络安全专业人员数量方面可以发挥的新战略作用; 2）在教育机构，企业，工业和政府之间建立有效的合作; 3）准备24名学者服务（SFS），以帮助满足政府对高素质网络安全专业人员的需求; 4）传播为全国其他学院复制而设计的最佳实践模式，包括：进行事先学习评估的新协议，以帮助退伍军人将他们的教育和经验应用于网络安全学科;以及招聘、选拔通过网络安全教育计划支持非网络安全学士学位学生该项目的共同资助来自高级技术教育（ATE）和NSF STEM奖学金（S-STEM）计划，反映了该项目与ATE计划关于社区学院参与的主要重点以及S-STEM计划关于高等教育财务和课外支持的主要重点的一致性，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
