West Michigan Center for Arts + Technology (WMCAT) expanded access to its cybersecurity program in September, providing tuition-free training for adults in Kent County.
The program started last year, now capacity for their Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) classes will increase to 15 students in 2024, and they will also offer Cloud Security Engineering to an additional 15 students.
“There is economic opportunity in the technology sector.” Representatives of the nonprofit tell FOX 17 six of the 11 graduates of the pilot course found employment in GRC with annual wages between $60 and $115K within 2 months of graduation.
Enrollment is open now until October 11. GRC training participants will begin their 7-month course in January, while the Cloud Security Engineering track starts in March 2024.
