Mission and programs · 2024

Primary exempt purpose

To use our platform to put more people in cyber and IT jobs by creating opportunities for employers to interact with job seekers who are upskilled and ready for work.

  • Washington University in St Louis Roundtable on Cybersecurity-The GCC plans and facilities eight Cybersecurity Roundtables a year for Washington University. Corporations invest in their Chief Information Security Officers and other Cyber leaders by providing them membership to the Cybersecurity Roundtable. Individuals who want to accelerate their career progression in Cybersecurity also join the Roundtable promoting career trajectory.

  • SPARKS-In 2024 we hosted a Spring and Fall SPARKS program. Each semester four high school students experienced what it is like to apply for a job and the teamwork it takes to stay successful once you are hired. These students had the opportunity to visit business locations and meet with cyber teams. An even more critical part of the program provides them the opportunity to demonstrate their decision making and problem solving skills through practical exercises. This program helps inform students decisions about cybersecurity and lets them build the relationships that will help shape their future after high school.

    Expenses $22,071

  • Secure Pathway Workshops-The Secure Pathways series of workshops with high school students has proven to generate career awareness and interest in careers in cybersecurity. High School students can spend an informative and fun day with Cybersecurity Leaders and Mentors learning and having fun while they learn. In 2024 over 405 high school students from around the St. Louis metropolitan area spent the day at the GCCs Secure Pathway Workshops in conjunction with several local universities.
