Microsoft to work with community colleges

Microsoft Corp on Thursday said it plans to work with community colleges across the United States to fill 250,000 cyber security jobs over the course of the next four years.

Microsoft said it will give grants or help to around 25,000 students and will give preparing to new and existing teachers at 150 junior colleges across the nation. The organization additionally said that it will give curriculum materials to free to all community colleges, just as four-year schools, in the country.

“Over the next three years, we’ll put many tens of millions behind this work,” Microsoft President Brad Smith said in a press briefing. “This is a chance for us to begin.”

Microsoft’s efforts come as the United States has faced some the broadest and most sophisticated hacks it has at any point seen, including the SolarWinds assault that U.S. authorities say hit 18,000 entities, including in many in federal government.

Microsoft and other large technology organizations in August aimed at improving technology supply chain security.
