MDC’s Cybersecurity Center of the Americas Preps Trainees for Fast-Growing Profession

Cyberattacks are a growing area of concern across every industry in the United States. But there’s a problem: the country does not have enough qualified cybersecurity workers to meet industry demands.

Miami Dade College wants to change that. At the Col-lege’s new Cybersecurity Center for the Americas, stu-dents and working professionals can receive the training they need to identify cyberattacks, upgrade an existing cybersecurity network and fill one of the thousands of open cybersecurity jobs in South Florida and the United States. Trainees at all experience levels work in a security operation center environment, known as an SOC, where they are tasked with blocking cyberattacks.

“One wrong move is all it takes to turn a cybersecurity incident into a full-on disaster,” said Jorge Ortega, direc-tor of the Cybersecurity Center of the Americas. “MDC’s cybersecurity program brings theory, practice, technical expertise and managerial competency together to pro-duce confident graduates with in-demand skills.”

Utilizing the new Cyberbit Range, a hyper-realistic simu-lation platform capable of mimicking different network attack scenarios, trainees – including students enrolled in the Associate in Science in Network Security and the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree programs – receive an immersive education that merges classroom instruction with hands-on action. The center offers training, certification and assessment for commer-cial and public sector organizations.

Sixty-six percent of U.S. employers do not have enough cybersecurity professionals to combat potential threats, according to the nonprofit Center for Cyber Safety and Education. The center reports the cybersecurity work-force will be short by 1.8 million employees by 2022, establishing that training programs such as MDC’s are necessary to fill that projected workforce gap.

DESIGNINGYOUR OWNFUTURE

MDC Adult Education Program Helps Students Achieve More

The path to earning a college degree doesn’t always begin right after high school. Just ask Leandro Dorta Duque, an electrical engineering and computer science major at Cornell University, who arrived in the United States from Cuba five years ago with limited English skills, no SAT scores and a dream to become an engineer.

“I came to the U.S when I was 20 and was undocumented for a year,” said Duque, who because of his legal status was not eligible to enroll in college and pay in-state tuition. On the advice of a friend, he decided to enroll in non-credit English courses through Adult Education at Miami Dade College while he waited for his residency.

It was there that Duque met Ana Maria Guadayol, an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) professor and advisor at MDC, Kendall Campus, who helped him lay the foundation for his future. “The mission of our ESOL program is to help non-native English speakers learn the language so they can either get into college or back into the workforce,” Guadayol said. “Together, we figure out what path they’re going to take and I map out the steps to help guide them.”

Duque’s path included learning English while studying for the SATs, getting a scholarship to attend the MDC Honors College, and earning an Associate in Arts in Computer Engineering. Then he successfully transferred to a baccalaureate program at Cornell University – all within three years.

“I always had engineering on my mind but was lost when it came to the process of how to pursue it,” Duque said. “I had no idea how anything worked in the U.S., so it’s thanks to the people who guided me that I’m at Cornell now.”

But his journey isn’t over yet. Duque plans to pursue a master’s in engineering at Cornell next year. “My ultimate goal is to one day create my own company related to medical devices,” he said.

Scholarship Program forChild Care Educators ExpandsFor anyone interested in a career in the child care indus-try, there is big news. The Children’s Trust, a dedicated revenue source to support local children and families, has expanded its scholarship program and allocated $1 million for the 2018-19 school year toward education and profes-sional development foreducators studying early childhood.

It’s been more than 10 years since an initiative was estab-lished in partnership with Miami Dade College to improve educators’ qualifications. Previously, only about one-third of the day care centers and pre-schools in Miami-Dade County qualified to access these funds for their personnel. Now that’s changed. In Fall 2018, the quality-improve-ment initiative shifted to a new model and expanded so that educators studying early childhood from all licensed facilities in Miami-Dade County – about 1,700 in all – can participate.

“The Children’s Trust has always supported scholarships for teacher education and training,” said Rachel Spector, senior program manager at The Children’s Trust. “This expansion is an intentional approach to help professionalize the ear-ly-learning workforce. We wanted to offer more support.”

The Children’s Forum manages the Early Learning Career Center, which helps teachers and aides plan and exe-cute their career goals. Scholarship recipients can use the money toward conferences, child care credentials and renewals, credit classes, document translation for foreign-trained professionals, and continuing education requirements. In addition to college credits, state-required

credentials and courses for program administrators, MDC also offers a wide range of continuing education courses taught in Spanish for child care workers.

MDC Continuing Education Professor Fabiola Lozano said that there has been a lot of demand for the Spanish-lan-guage child care training courses she teaches. “It’s a great opportunity for people who are immigrants because these classes can help make their dreams come true,” she said.

“We know that early-childhood educators improve their interactions with children when they have more support and credentials. It’s all based on research,” said Dasiely Cruz, director of the Early Learning Career Center at The Children’s Forum. “We have more work to do, but this is a great first step.”

The scholarships for early childhood educators in Miami-Dade County are intended to improve knowledge, skills, classroom practices and ultimately the quality of care offered to children.
