Cybersecurity Pathway Design Lab

Wednesday, November 20th from 8:00am to 3:30pm at the Quest Conference Center in Westerville, Ohio (near Polaris).

Learn strategies and discover resources to create a cybersecurity pathway that enables diverse students to earn industry credentials, participate in work-based learning, and successfully enter the workforce and/or post secondary education.

Building Pathways

During this engaging in-person event your team will hear from experts in the field (listed below) and gain personalized support to build a successful cybersecurity pathway in your school.

Enjoy work time throughout the day to digest new information and plan next steps. This isn’t a typical ‘sit-and-get’ conference. Leave with action plans and thought partners!

*This event is possible thanks to funding and support from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and the Governor’s Office.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or expert at creating cybersecurity pathways – this event will help you build or expand opportunities for your students!

Empowering Your Staff

ANY Ohio High School is welcome. Each participating school can bring a team of three to five individuals for FREE!

Schools are encouraged to include the following team members:

high school administrator,
central office administrator,
school counselor,
or teacher who might teach the new program.
Additionally, we will recommend that high school teams include either a middle school administrator or teacher to ensure strong computer science programming and articulation across grades 7-12.

Sustainable Change

Following the Design Lab, interested schools will have the opportunity to apply to be one of five pilot schools that will receive coaching and technical assistance from EnvisionEdPlus through December 2025 to design and incubate their pathways. Pilot schools will be expected to start their new cybersecurity pathway in the fall of 2025.

All school teams will also leave with connections to experts that will support you along the way.
