Did you know there is an enormous gap between the number of cybersecurity job openings and the number of people with skills to fill those jobs? And that cybersecurity jobs are projected to grow much faster than most other jobs?

If you're considering starting a career in the rapidly-growing cyberscurity field, join us on Wednesday, June 10 at 1:30 p.m. AZ/Pacific time for a free webinar on Cybersecurity and the Job Market!

You'll hear from University of Arizona Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty members, Dr. Salim Hariri and Dr. Pratik Satam, who will discuss

• The top five cybersecurity positions
• The outlook for cybersecurity jobs
• The cybersecurity skills employers are really looking for
• How the University of Arizona Network Security Training Program was designed to address the growing cybersecurity skills gap

There will also be time for Q&A, so bring your questions about the cybersecurity field!

If you can't make it on Wednesday, register for the event and you'll get a link to the webinar recording.

Registration for this event is now closed, but you can watch the recording any time.

To support the education community during this challenging time, the University of Arizona is offering a series of short, focused (and FREE!) webinars to help school psychologists, administrators and related professionals identify helpful resources.

Topics range from telepractice to supporting teachers and parents to resources for coping with anxiety and grief.

Join University of Arizona College of Education faculty member Marsha Spencer, PhD, NCSP, and her guests as we navigate an overwhelming world of resources.

• We will start with a brief overview of resources from NASP, supplemented with materials from APA, and possibly other relevant resources.
• Then webinar participants can pose questions and share their own advice. Webinar participation is via written comments, which will only be seen by the webinar hosts, not other participants. We hope this will help everyone feel comfortable participating in the discussion.

Webinar Schedule

Each webinar will run from 10-10:30 a.m. MST, and registered participants will receive a link to the recording after the webinar ends.

Today we are highlighting some of our popular online programs that can help you gain the skills to start a new career.

Earn a Paralegal Certificate

In 2019, the median salary for paralegals was over $50,000, and projected job growth was expected to be much higher than other fields. Our online Paralegal Certificate equips you with the knowledge and skills to start a career as a Paralegal in just 14 weeks.

Get an Entry-Level Tech Credential

The COMPTIA A+ certification validates that you have the core tech skills for IT support roles, and it is a requirement for a sizable percentage of entry-level IT help desk jobs.

Our fully online, self-paced CompTIA A+ training not only equips you with the skills you need, it helps you get ready to pass your certification exams.

Earning a CompTIA Network+ certification is another good starting point for a career in IT. We offer two options to help you earn your Network+ certification:

• In-person Network+ training offered after July 1, with free access to online training right now.
• A fully online self-paced Network+ course. 

CompTIA certifications are "stackable," so you can earn additional credentials as your knowledge and experience increase.

Become a Full-Stack Web Developer

The University of Arizona Continuing & Professional Education Coding Boot Camp gives you the knowledge and skills to build dynamic end-to-end web applications and become a full stack web developer.

The program is offered in a "live online" format, where you join scheduled online class sessions several days a week.
