Where Education and Employment Come Together
If you are looking at a rapidly growing career field, take a look at cybersecurity. US companies and the federal government are working to increase the workforce in this very critical industry. CyberKnights encourages prospective entrants into this industry with its unique Apprenticeship Portal, where companies will place qualified candidates (new hires and/or current employees) in a salaried cybersecurity job and pay for their tuition to pursue an Associates/Bachelor’s degree related to cybersecurity.
Candidates
CyberKnights improves the recruiting process for employers, by assessing skills (aligned to the NICE CWF) that the candidate possesses and matching them to apprenticeship positions posted by employers.
Employers
Employers can drill down through the NICE CWF, search candidates based on skills required by specific work roles, and even register current employees, whose talents and skills they want to build upon as an apprentice.
