Aurora City Schools get the big scissors out for launch of new tech course [Video]

AURORA, Ohio — Aurora City Schools is creating a talent pipeline across the state and region for the cybersecurity industry. This is all a part of the district’s new program it’s offering high school students.

A career in cybersecurity now ranks within one of the country’s top 20 fastest-growing career fields, and Aurora City Schools want to ensure students are fully prepared for the rapidly growing tech industry.

“Even if you don’t decide to stay in cyber security, that foundation will stay with you in any job that you have,” said a speaker at the program’s ribbon cutting.

In partnership with Paradigm Cyber Ventures, Aurora City Schools’ new cybersecurity program offers students real-world experiences through internships and industry-recognized certifications. Once students graduate, they will qualify for immediate job placement.
