Synopsis: 

Join us for an engaging webinar that explores the critical role of internships, externships, apprenticeships, and other work-based learning experiences as a talent development strategy that benefits both learners and organizations. Learn how these opportunities equip participants with real-world skills, expose them to industry practices and standards, and cultivate the professional networks that fuel long-term success in cybersecurity. We’ll also explore best practices for creating meaningful experiences and how organizations can leverage these programs to meet evolving workforce needs.
