Frank Cicio is the founder of iQ4 a for-profit company that currently provides structured cybersecurity courses to colleges and universities that feature 1) an industry virtual mentor provided by the company from a large pool of corporate volunteers and 2) an e-portfolio of skills tied to the industry/national standards that is called a passport. These courses can be real-world or entirely virtual and can be semester-long or 4-week where they operate either as non-credit stand alone or as part of an existing credit-bearing course like a laboratory. The company’s track record with students is that this experience is powerful, galvanizing, and leads to employment after graduation (or real-world internships for current students). It also plugs a skills-gap in a key enterprise where recruiting for jobs is a corporate problem. This podcast reviews the founding, ongoing implementation, and future plans for other areas (e.g. data science).
