Six First Nations students will graduate Friday from a Collėge communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick program in cybersecurity -- the first graduates in a new suite of programs to help indigenous youth participate in New Brunswick’s burgeoning cybersecurity industry.
The Joint Economic Development Initiative, or JEDI, said the six students with a background in information technology have completed the first cohort of a 20-week cybersecurity program. The statement added that a second cohort of students in December will graduate from a 68-week program for people without any formal IT training.
