Sinclair Community College (SCC; OH), Brookdale Community College (BCC; NJ) and Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC; IL) propose to increase the placement of highly qualified cybersecurity professionals in government positions for the Community College Cyber Pilot Program (C3P). This proposed project is in alignment with the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018. Through cohort-based learning, SFS scholars at each of the four-partner colleges will collaborate on activities and events, including student skills competitions, certification preparation workshops, visits to local federal agencies, and participation in job fairs. Experiential learning will allow students to gain skills from real cybersecurity vulnerabilities and attacks experienced by businesses and organizations. SCC is designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense 2-Year Education (CAE-2Y) and MVCC is an Advanced Technical Education (ATE) National Resource Center.The program will be based on several successful adult learning practices: cohort learning, experiential learning, competency-based education, and one-on-one, holistic student support. The objectives are to: 1) research, develop, and document new strategic roles community colleges can play in increasing the number of cybersecurity professionals employed in government sectors; 2) build effective collaborations between educational institutions, business, industry, and government; 3) prepare 24 Scholars For Service (SFS) to help meet government need for highly qualified cybersecurity professionals; 4) disseminate best practice models designed for replication by other colleges across the country, including: new protocols for conducting prior learning assessments to assist veterans in applying their education and experience to cybersecurity disciplines; and best practices for recruiting, selecting, and supporting non-cybersecurity Bachelor degree students through cybersecurity education programs (cohort models and success coaching).Co-funding for this project is provided from the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) and NSF Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) programs, reflecting alignment of the project with major emphases of the ATE program on involvement of community colleges and the S-STEM program on financial and co-curricular support for high-achieving students with demonstrated financial need.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

辛克莱社区学院（SCC; OH），布鲁克代尔社区学院（BCC; NJ）和莫莱恩谷社区学院（MVCC; IL）提议提高高素质网络安全专业人员在政府职位上的位置，以担任社区学院网络飞行员计划（C3P）。这个拟议的项目与2018年《国防授权法》保持一致。通过基于同类的学习，四方学院的每所SFS学者将在活动和活动中合作，包括学生技能竞赛，认证准备研讨会，对当地联邦机构的访问以及参与招聘会的参与。体验式学习将使学生能够从企业和组织所经历的实际网络安全脆弱性和攻击中获得技能。 SCC被指定为网络防御2年教育（CAE-2Y）的国家学术卓越中心，MVCC是一个高级技术教育（ATE）国家资源中心。该计划将基于几种成功的成人学习实践：同类学习，体验式学习，基于能力的教育，基于一对一的一对一的，一对一的学生支持。目标是：1）社区大学可以研究，发展和记录新的战略角色，以增加政府部门雇用的网络安全专业人员的数量； 2）在教育机构，商业，工业和政府之间建立有效的合作； 3）准备24名学者服务（SFS），以帮助满足政府对高素质网络安全专业人员的需求； 4）传播全国其他大学旨在复制的最佳实践模型，包括：进行事先学习评估的新协议，以帮助退伍军人将其教育和经验应用于网络安全学科；以及通过网络安全教育计划（同类模型和成功教练）的招聘，选择和支持非康复学士学位学生的最佳实践。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，对具有证明财务需求的高成就学生的共同提供支持，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估值得支持的。
