Set for tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb. 6th, this day-long event offers you a rare opportunity to meet and build relations with Members of Congress (both House and Senate) and their senior aides.

And what’s our goal?

Simple, we are urging Congress and the President to keep the federal government open and add to the deal, $1.5 Billion in cybersecurity training grants.  This money would be used by schools like HBCUs, community colleges, and high schools to train over 300,000cybersecurity workers in the next five years.

Below is the schedule for the Cybersecurity Education Capitol Hill Day.  For more details on the proposed cybersecurity education grant program, visit: https://docs.google.com/cybercuritytraininggrants/talkingpoints.

Also, put your hands together for the STEM4US! Cybersecurity Training Consortium, the business and education leaders that are funding this HUGE project.  Check out the list of supporters below and visit their websites.

Don’t forget to RSVP by midnight! by clicking the box below or email me at talib@stem4us.org.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the historic Cybersecurity Education Capitol Hill Day!
