The Federal government is hiring a significant number of graduates into cybersecurity positions that are opening up in many agencies as a result of continued challenges protecting sensitive government and citizen data. Our Information Assurance and Cybersecurity certificate has launched many careers in Federal government employment. The most recent success story is a graduate from 3 years ago who is now being promoted to Director of an important program within the NSA. He is thrilled with his success and with the work. Stories like this are passed on to students to encourage them to consider conversations with NSA and DHS recruiters who come to campus. As an NSA/DHS Center of Excellence, we are in a position to help the Nation fill the void in cybersecurity expertise.

- UW Making the Difference: Careers in Federal Government is the name of our chapter of a nationwide effort to promote federal employment as a wise choice after graduation. The federal government is hiring — there's probably an agency that needs you just as much as you need it. Core to our efforts to promote federal careers are incredible UW students with federal experience, who have stepped-up into Student Ambassador roles. These students help our overall programming efforts and serve as resources for other students considering federal careers.
