The University of Virginia’s College at Wise and the MACH37 Cyber Accelerator at the Center for Innovative Technology announced a new partnership Friday that aims to create cybersecurity employment and education opportunities in Southwest Virginia.
According to a statement by Virginia Secretary of Technology Karen Jackson, the Memorandum of Understanding will have a major impact.
“UVa-Wise has a growing pipeline of well-educated technology students who will be joining the workforce over the next few years. This relationship with the accelerator will provide them with a stream of internship and employment opportunities with companies in MACH37’s growing portfolio,” she said. “The agreement will also provide MACH37 with access to the University’s outstanding research expertise and will allow both sides to leverage each other’s valuable stakeholder relationships.”
