Students are also expected to have access to internships, apprenticeships and networking opportunities to help jumpstart their future careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis program will provide students with an unprecedented learn-by-doing opportunity as they collaborate with industry leaders on real-world projects in the field,\u201d Bill Britton, Cal Poly\u2019s vice president for information technology, chief information officer, and director of the California Cybersecurity Institute, said in a press release. \u201cCybersecurity has become the frontline of national defense, and cyberthreats are rapidly evolving to incorporate emerging trends such as generative AI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nationally, the growth of the cybersecurity field is growing at a pace that is outpacing the volume of the workforce, according to an analysis by <a href=\"https:\/\/drata.com\/blog\/demand-for-cybersecurity-analysts\">Drata<\/a>, a security and compliance automation software company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis partnership is a unique opportunity for the university and a watershed moment for experiential learning,\u201d Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong said in the release. \u201cThe cutting-edge work students will engage in will redefine the landscape and has the potential to attract new investment that will accelerate the speed of innovation at the state and national levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cal Poly leaders said they hope one day to expand the program to support workforces for other industries,
