BACKGROUND To help address the regional and national shortage in cybersecurity professionals, UW Bothell launched an innovative university-industry partnership to enable UW Bothell students to gain intensive and immersive real-world work experience during their final years of study, along with professional development to be successful in the workplace. The initial Co-Op/Internship pilot program, launched with T-Mobile, benefits industry as well, enabling industry partners to recruit UW Bothell talent to contribute to new or existing projects and initiatives, as well as potentially creating a pipeline for training and full-time employment with their organization. Key to UW Bothell s commitment is the leadership from the Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity (CIAC). Led by Dr. Barbara Endicott- Popovsky and based at UW Bothell, CIAC is designated by the National Security Agency as a Center for Academic Excellence in Research and Cyber Defense Education. CIAC supports preparation of students for careers protecting computer systems from accidents, hackers, viruses and other security threats by integrating materials from technology, business operations, policy, communications, psychology, and most importantly problem solving. UW Bothell s Cybersecurity Initiative enhances the campus s commitment to being a regionally accountable public university that is committed to building and sustaining institutional and community partnerships designed to enhance student success and the well-being and prosperity of Washington State and of our region.
