positions across the country to college students pursuing a degree in a
cybersecurity-related field.
The 2014 Secretary’s Honors Program Cyber Student Volunteer Initiative
will provide unpaid student volunteer assignments at DHS field offices in
more than 60 locations across the country.
The program, created in April 2013 by former DHS Secretary Janet
Napolitano, provided assignments at Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s
computer forensic labs in 36 cities nationwide. The 2014 program will
expand to include new opportunities at the Secret Service, U.S. Coast
Guard, the Transportation Security Administration, the Office of
Intelligence and Analysis, the DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer
and additional state and major urban area fusion centers and ICE labs.
“DHS is excited to continue the Secretary’s Honors Program Cyber Student
Volunteer Initiative and expand it to additional DHS offices and locations
while increasing our engagement with students in the important
cybersecurity work DHS does every day,” said Rand Beers, acting DHS
secretary, in a statement. “Providing these opportunities across the
department is a vital step in our efforts to cultivate the next generation
of cybersecurity leaders and to attract the best and brightest cyber
talent who are looking to pursue a career in public service.”
