On May 27th, 2023, over 100 students graduated from the Cyber Nations training program in Barbados. The program, launched by Protexxa Inc., aims to address the global cybersecurity talent shortage by training 100,000 learners for entry-level cybersecurity roles. The first cohort of graduates completed a four-month program that includes CompTIA Security+ curriculum and the Plum talent assessment platform. The program balances synchronous and asynchronous learning and culminates with a Cybersecurity Analyst certificate from George Brown College. The graduates are now prepared to add tangible value to organizations with practical and actionable skills across critical cybersecurity roles. The second cohort of 350 students begins in August 2023, and work is underway to expand the program in Kenya, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago. Graduates can work remotely from their countries and support businesses worldwide. For more information, visit cyber-nations.com.
