Cybersecurity Urgency = Veteran Opportunity: UNCC Program Manager Steve Olson

Lately in the news, we’ve been hearing a lot about cyber security and its overall importance, especially as we progress further into IT automation and artificial intelligence managing some of our major infrastructures here in America. With such a rising emphasis, many opportunities have created to bridge the gap and lure professionals into a cybersecurity career. In September of 2020, The University of North Carolina in Charlotte (UNCC), along with several other universities, was awarded a grant from The National Security Agency (NSA) to develop certification-based and national training for number of transitioning military and first responders. The program is being offered online and free of charge to folks within our military community and today, we are very fortunate to have a Program Manager & Recruiter from The University of North Carolina in Charlotte, Mr. Steve Olson, to talk about the opportunities available and give some insight on himself, as a fellow military veteran.NSA AWARD FOR CYBER SECURITY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT LINK:https://ece.uncc.edu/spotlights/nsa-award-cyber-security-workforce-development#:~:text=The%20National%20Security%20Agency%20%28NSA%29%2C%20Department%20of%20Defense,to%20a%20consortium%20of%20universities%20including%20UNC%20CharlotteUNCC Program Manager Steve Olson's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-olson-menv-59ab27104/UNCC Program Manager Steve Olson's Email:solson10@uncc.edu Support the Show.Check out our websitePlease Support & Donate to the Podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/themorningformUSA Made socks with a Purpose. 20% off with code: TMFhttps://www.solediersocks.com/tmfEpisode Powered By Act Now Education
