About PC4A
IUP, in partnership with six other community colleges in Pennsylvania, has been awarded a substantial grant from the US Department of Defense (DoD STEM) to form the Pennsylvania Community College Consortium Cooperative Agreement (PC4A), with the increasingly important goal of supporting and strengthening the cybersecurity workforce in our country. ​The project officially began in September 2022 and will continue through August 2025 with possible extensions through 2028.
Our Partners
Community college partners were chosen based on a variety of factors, including geographical location, vested interest in cybersecurity and STEM fields, and expertise in managing federally funded grants. Visit our Partners page to learn more information about each school. For upcoming activities, please visit the events page.
Activities
Partners are participating in numerous activities to help reach project objectives including certification workshops, K-12 outreach, faculty development training and conferences, hackathons, and student field trips, guest speakers, community events, and many others.
