The WiCyS + ISC2 Spring Camp offers an entry-level certification, Certified in Cybersecurity (CC), with no prerequisites or prior work experience required. This makes it accessible to IT professionals, career changers, college students, and high school graduates. The program goes beyond a certification course into a collaborative learning environment enriched with mentorship, community support, and opportunities to build cybersecurity knowledge.
The WiCyS + ISC2 Spring Camp will train participants across five essential security domains: security principles; business continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response concepts; access control concepts; network security; and security operations. Participants will have access to ISC2’s online self-paced training for the CC certification, guidance from a WiCyS mentor and an ISC2 technical mentor, and open office hours for support with the curriculum. The program will run from May 1 to June 2, 2025, and participants must complete their certification by June 30, 2025.
“The cybersecurity industry needs strong, well-trained professionals from diverse backgrounds who can bring fresh perspectives to the table to ensure our communities are secure. This is especially true when it comes to greater gender diversity to help address evolving challenges,” said Dwan Jones, Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at ISC2. “The Spring Camp program plays a key role in enabling this by supporting entry-level professionals in building a solid foundation of cybersecurity knowledge while also equipping them with the skills they can apply in their day-to-day work. These professionals will not only strengthen the workforce but also contribute to a more dynamic and innovative approach to tackling growing cyber threats, ultimately making us all safer and more secure.”
