Last week, Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services visited Denmark Technical College with one of our partners, Fusion Cyber. It was an opportunity to see first-hand the impact of the Fusion Cyber Bridge Program, a program that is providing critical career pathways for underserved communities, including veterans, in rural South Carolina.

Fusion Cyber’s Cyber Bridge Program connects veterans and underrepresented communities to Minority Serving Institutions/Historically Black Colleges and Universities to facilitate education and training in cyber fields and Security Operation Centers to spur long-term community development.

Dixon Center is assisting them in expanding and rapidly deploying this model into communities across the U.S. by connecting these programs with supportive services, reducing barriers to entry into the cybersecurity sector for our veterans and their families.

This is an exciting opportunity to transform the lives of veterans and their families, especially in rural communities across the country. Stay tuned for updates as we expand this program into other communities in Illinois and Pennsylvania.
