See Yourself in Cyber
HBCU Cybersecurity Career Program
African Americans make up only 9% of the cyber workforce. We are on a mission to change that. We are dedicated to helping Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students launch their careers in cybersecurity, privacy, and risk.
See Yourself in Cyber equips students with the necessary life and career navigation skills to help them find, and succeed in, roles in security, privacy, and risk.

On-Campus and Virtual Events:
Events allow students to interact directly with professionals in the field, including HBCU graduates, government representatives, and corporate recruiters. Students have the unique opportunity to break down the wall between recruiter and candidate by asking questions and having meaningful discussions face to face.
Mentorship:
Our mentoring program pairs HBCU students with security and privacy professionals to help prepare them for the job search process. Mentors and mentees hold one-on-one meetings focused on resume building, interviewing skills, and empowering students with the confidence they need to navigate their way to a successful career in security and privacy. Anyone can sign up to be a mentor! We have a vibrant network of hundreds of mentees and mentors, promoting valuable connections and guidance in cybersecurity.
Scholarship:
We partner with the ISACA Foundation to offer scholarships to students at participating HBCUs who are pursuing careers in security, privacy, or risk. So far, we have granted 29 scholarships and continue to support more students each year.
