Circadence forms a strategic alliance with BCIT to increase student's cybersecurity skills and workforce readiness
BOULDER, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Circadence Corporation (https://circadence.com/demo/), a market leader in cybersecurity readiness, is joining forces with British Columbia Institute of Technology ( (https://www.bcit.ca/)BCIT) to provide students with hands-on cybersecurity training to help work-ready skills.
"We are honored to align with BCIT to help their students gain hands-on practice of real cyber concepts and tools, ultimately contributing to the reduction of the global industry talent shortage and increasing their competency and confidence as they enter the workforce upon graduation," said Michael Moniz, CEO and Co-Founder of Circadence. "We hope the gamified cyber ranges in Project Ares excite and intrigue BCIT students so much that they passionately and proactively pursue a career in cybersecurity as life-long learners of the discipline."
The need for partnerships like this is great since the Information Communications Technology Council of Canada report states approximately 50,000 cybersecurity practitioners and support staff will be needed by 2023. The cybersecurity job shortage continues to be a global-wide concern. To help overcome this issue, Circadence will provide cyber training and education tools in its cyber range platform Project Ares to help students learn cyber skills and test their knowledge. This strategic alliance between Circadence and BCIT will enable collaboration with leading industry experts to develop a one-of-a-kind cybersecurity learning experience that effectively prepares students for a career in cyber.

"Cyber training is only effective if students are able to gain the right skills and knowledge they need to apply it to real-world scenarios on the job," said Steve Wilson, Director, BCIT Centre for Digital Transformation. "This partnership with Circadence will create an applied learning environment for students to learn from industry experts and to begin solving real-world problems before they graduate. These applied, industry-focused training opportunities are critical to building Canada's cybersecurity talent."
This strategic alliance will enable BCIT students to access cybersecurity resources and participate in networking opportunities such as:
· Free registration to the world's first global hacking competition CyberLympics (https://www.cyberlympics.org/) and the Hacker Halted (https://www.hackerhalted.com/) Cybersecurity Conference.
· Access to the Circadence cyber-ranges in Project Ares – a hands-on cyber learning environment that simulates on-the-job experience
"Faced with a global cyber security talent shortage and an influx of breaches that cause millions of dollars in damages, businesses are changing how they approach cyber security learning and are looking to workforce development partners within academia to stay ahead of imminent threats," said Laurie Webb, Director, Global Partnerships, Circadence. "The strategic alliance between Circadence and BCIT demonstrates a partnership between industry leaders that transcends international borders to address the global cyber security workforce challenges and develop highly skilled professionals who can combat malicious attackers to keep businesses safe."
