Fontbonne University partners with non-profit CyberUp for apprenticeship and certification program
Fontbonne University in St. Louis announced a partnership with CyberUp, a national non-profit organization dedicated to closing the cybersecurity talent gap by helping adults and youth pursue cybersecurity careers.
Through the partnership, Fontbonne's students will earn bachelor's degrees in cybersecurity while simultaneously attending CyberUp's pre-apprenticeship course to obtain their CompTIA Security+ certification. CyberUp will also place junior and senior Fontbonne students with companies that will provide 2,000 hours of on-the-job training through its Cybersecurity Analyst registered apprenticeship program. Upon completion, students will then earn another industry recognized certification and a Department of Labor Journeyman certification.
