TSYS School Cybersecurity Nexus Program Joins CyberSkills2Work Coalition

The TSYS Center for Cybersecurity recently announced that the TSYS School's cybersecurity Nexus program has been selected to join the CyberSkills2Work coalition, which is a group of forward-thinking and creative education institutions working to solve our country's critical shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals by providing rapid workforce development opportunities for individuals seeking to pivot into the cybersecurity industry. "The CyberSkills2Work coalition is led by the impressive and award-winning Eman El-Sheikh and her amazing power team at the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity. The coalition gives us access to a network of employers, a new audience of potential students to train, bountiful creative ideas from coalition partners, and additional federal funds to pay for some of the student expenses of our 12-month rapid workforce development program," explained Patrick Aiken, Director of the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity in the Turner College. As a result of this new partnership, the CSU community will soon begin seeing more co-branded announcements between the TSYS School's cybersecurity Nexus program and the CyberSkills2Work coalition in future LinkedIn posts and on the TSYS School website. "This creates more opportunities for us to train even more people to start remarkable careers and protect our nation's digital assets against cybercrime," Aiken added. El-Sheikh, the Associate Vice President of the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity, earned a bachelor's degree in computer science from the American University in Cairo, and a master's degree and PhD in computer science from Michigan State University. "We are thrilled to have [the] amazing [TSYS School] cybersecurity Nexus program join our CyberSkills2Work coalition and look forward to doing great things together," El-Sheikh stated.
