SPS Cyber Security Fellowship Program is a three to six month program intended for seniors and recent graduates of computer science and engineering  programs who are interested in expanding their cybersecurity skillset to begin a career in this field. The program is not a coding bootcamp nor is it intended for novices to computer programming.

Features of the program:

• An opportunity to specialize. Most school programs do not provide their students with industry-specific information and technical certifications – we will fill this gap.​

Entering a new field can be difficult without talking to professionals in the industry – SPS has an ecosystem that will help any new individual with this issue
• Training. Program Fellows may be to entitled to available cy bersecurity training at a heavily discounted rate.
