After becoming a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense in January, Chippewa Valley Technical College has been awarded its certificate in recognition of significant contributions to the pool of skilled workers with cyber defense expertise.

In addition to the designation and certificate, in November, CVTC was approved to offer an Advanced Technical Certificate in Cybersecurity. The plan is to offer the course in the fall or thereafter.
“Cybersecurity is something that influences every area of IT, and there has been so much growth in the security field,” he said. “We’re seeing value in offering additional education to make sure businesses are security-focused.”
The designation identifies CVTC as capable of supporting a cyber-secure nation and ultimately contributing to the protection of the national information infrastructure.
