巴尔的摩，2022年8月1日，媒体 / - 以满足美国紧急网络安全需求，促使少数民族对工程学的兴趣（AMIE）宣布了一项新的合作，以支持历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCUS）的网络安全教育。

HBCU网络安全行业合作计划与行业合作伙伴雅培，微软和雷神技术一起，旨在在HBCU工程学校内建立课程能力，将其定位为国家优势的网络安全学院，同时创造出良好的学生劳动力，以使学生能够为良好的学生提供良好的劳动力。世界上重​​要的网络安全职业。该计划希望通过课程开发，研究合作，教师支持和其他资源来支持HBCU。

目前，美国有将近60万个公开网络安全工作，专家预计到2025年，全球将有350万个网络安全工作。

"Our hope is that the initiative will enhance cybersecurity programming at HBCUs, helping connect students, especially African-American students, with opportunities to pursue cybersecurity certifications and degrees," said Veronica L. Nelson, AMIE's executive director. "This effort couldn't come at a more critical time. The U.S. greatly needs skilled cybersecurity workers. HBCU Engineering Schools represent a rich pipeline of untapped, diverse talent."

15个获得工程和技术工程技术的认证HBCU工程学院在美国生产了30％以上的非裔美国人工程师，同时代表美国的工程大学的数据中不到3％

劳工部显示黑人和非裔美国人仅占美国信息安全分析师的11.8％

The initiative's pilot incorporates expertise and support from Abbott, Microsoft and Raytheon Technologies with the goal of aligning business needs to the pilot schools' cybersecurity curricula and research capabilities. The four HBCU pilot engineering schools of the 15 member schools of the Council of HBCU Engineering Deans are Hampton University, North Carolina A&T State University, Prairie View A&M University, and Virginia State University.

• 来自雅培，微软和雷神技术的专业人士将担任客座讲师，参加指导计划，并与教师会面，以更好地了解现有的优势，并协作教育更多的网络安全专业人员，以帮助解决美国人才差距。
• Microsoft is providing funding and support as part of its网络安全技能计划。
• 雅培is providing funding and hosting two Prairieview A&M University cybersecurity students for customized intern experiences during summer 2022.
• 雷神技术公司正在提供资金，并与当地学生一起展示其网络能力，并为学生提供探索网络职业的机会。

“随着行业4.0或'智能'技术的完整整合到我们生活的许多方面，VSU现在看到我们几乎需要网络安全培训的专业人员来确保其产品，服务和业务运营的每家公司。”188bet上不了弗吉尼亚州立大学工程技术学院院长Dawit Haile。“这包括我们以前在这种情况下从未考虑过的行业，例如制造，建筑和能源。VSU了解网络安全技能现在已成为关键的核心知识基础的一部分，我们致力于提供强大的学生渠道在这一领域准备好了。”

The pilot will run through the end of 2022 with the goal of extending the initiative to the remaining 11 ABET-accredited HBCU Schools of Engineering in the future: Alabama A&M University, Florida A&M University, Howard University, Jackson State University, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, Southern University, Tennessee State University, Tuskegee University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore and the University of the District of Columbia.

"In today's digital-first world, skilled cybersecurity workers are critical to ensuring the safety of our enterprise as well as the products and technologies we provide people to live better, healthier lives," said Sabina Ewing, Chief Information Officer, Abbott. "That's why, as a founding member of Advancing Minorities' Interest in Engineering, Abbott supports efforts like the HBCU Cybersecurity Industry Collaboration Initiative Pilot, which develops HBCU talent to build a diverse, innovative workforce that will meet the demands of today and tomorrow."

Microsoft合作伙伴，战略云解决方案和AMIE董事会成员Valecia Maclin表示：“我们很高兴与Amie与Amie进行这项合作，以扩大HBCUS的网络安全教育。”“ HBCU在毕业美国毕业最优秀，最聪明的工程才能的杰出作用，再加上我们对扩展全球网络安全技能的热情是我们所处时间的独特合作，也是至关重要的。作为解决方案的一部分。美国的网络安全劳动力短缺，我们期待着共同努力，创造一个代表我们社会多样性的劳动力。”

"Closing the enormous cybersecurity skills gap and driving diversity in our talent pipeline are critical business imperatives for our company and industry," said Shanda Hinton, Chief Diversity Officer, Raytheon Technologies. "This alliance offers real world education, experience and mentorship opportunities to HBCU engineering students to help cultivate the next generation of cyber defenders."
