Over 6,500 hundred high school and college students, veterans and job seekers are already participating in the Cyber Aces program in five other states. The Delaware Cyber Aces program is comprised of three phases: online courses, state championship events and elite education academies. This year’s program begins with a qualifying online competition that runs from now until December. Qualifiers then advance to a championship event on March 30 that utilizes NetWars, the same hands-on simulation the U.S. military uses to train its officers in network warfare. From that point, selected participants can begin elite education and workforce training at a “Cyber Aces Academy” that provides hands-on coursework, certifications and paid residencies in real world job environments. Although Delaware does not have an academy of its own in the state, planning is underway to get one up and running.
