CyberXE is an online early-career exploration company that propels secondary schools into the digital age. Its unique approach connects students with industry experts currently employed by some of the world's largest companies. Through this immersive experience, students gain hands-on knowledge in installing, configuring, and deploying cutting-edge technologies, providing them with an unprecedented edge in the competitive cybersecurity landscape.

As an accredited training center (ATC) of EC-Council and an authorized delivery partner (ADP) of CompTIA, CyberXE offers globally recognized IT certifications, preparing students for success in the cybersecurity job market. In addition, CyberXE is in the process of finalizing a partnership with SUNY to provide opportunities for students to obtain accredited certificates which lower the barrier for entry without compromising the integrity or quality of education. Founder and CEO William Sims said in a written statement, “A degree is not an accurate reflection of skillset or ability which is why we are redefining the roadmap for how we approach cybersecurity education. Both corporate and academia support this movement. It's a known fact that is the root cause of the talent gap and skills shortage. Cybersecurity is the top trade of the 21st century and we should treat it as such."

Hoosac School, celebrated for its unwavering commitment to academic excellence and inclusivity, is delighted to advance its already established partnership with CyberXE. To further their impact, the buildout of the CXE Security Operations Center (SOC) has already begun and will serve as a cyber supercenter that will host the programs activities, events and competitions and birth of the Young Professional Cybersecurity League (YPCL) the company plans on scaling throughout the entire independent school association. Together, they aim to equip BIPOC students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to shine in the cybersecurity industry.

This multifaceted partnership encompasses:

• Global Accessibility: CyberXE's learning experience platform (LXP) will extend the reach of Hoosac School's cybersecurity program to students worldwide, providing access to high-quality education and mentorship irrespective of geographical boundaries.
• Inclusive Curriculum: A tailor-made curriculum, designed with the unique aspirations and potential of BIPOC students in mind, ensures that they receive education that is both relevant and transformative, empowering them to excel in the cybersecurity field.
• Industry Expertise: Through CyberXE's mentorship program, students will have the privilege of direct interaction with cybersecurity professionals, forging connections that will serve as a bedrock for their educational and career journey.
• Certification Pathways: Students can pursue globally recognized IT certifications and certificates strengthening their credentials in the job market and opening doors to exciting career opportunities.

Moreover, this collaboration also entails the development of CyberXE's Learning Experience Platform (LXP), which will support the launch and scale of the Young Professional Cybersecurity League (YPCL). In this dynamic arena, students from diverse educational institutions can collaborate and compete, learning from experts, showcasing their skills, and cultivating relationships with leading corporate partners eager to hire qualified, diverse, entry-level talent.

Leaders from both CyberXE and Hoosac School are enthusiastic about the potential of this partnership to foster a more inclusive, innovative, and secure digital future.

"Through our partnership with Hoosac School, we are embarking on a journey to democratize cybersecurity education," said William Sims, CEO at CyberXE. "Our goal is to make a meaningful impact on the lives and careers of BIPOC students, providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to secure their future in Cyberspace."

"Hoosac School is fully dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive community. Our partnership with CyberXE aligns with our core mission and will empower BIPOC students to succeed in the cybersecurity industry," said Dean Foster, Headmaster.

This partnership marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing pursuit of educational and cybersecurity excellence, emphasizing inclusivity, mentorship and global access.

CyberXE and Hoosac School extend an invitation to all educational institutions, organizations, and companies to join them in this journey to make the cybersecurity field more diverse and robust.
