The Alliance for Cybersecurity Education (ACE) is a consortium of education and community partners working to raise the effective value of the 6-12 educational system and its integration into post-secondary education.
HISTORY
In December 2013, it was announced that the U.S. Army Cyber Command would move to Fort Gordon in 2018 and that Fort Gordon would be designated the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence (COE). Thus, the number of Fort Gordon employees is expected to increase from 24,000 to over 28,000 the next five years.
Using military models, 4,700 new military and government civilian employees equates to community growth of about 14,000 when spouses and children are included. About one third of the new employees will be government civilians and contractors. As there is no additional on post family housing planned, the majority of these new employees will live in the community…
MISSION
why we exist
Develop a defined curriculum related to cyber security for grades 6-12, which will create a pipeline through post-secondary education and into final employment. This will, in turn, generate an employable workforce for industry.
MEMBERS
The consortium is made up of Aiken Technical College, the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce, Augusta Technical College, CSRA Alliance, the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, the Columbia County School System, Fort Gordon, Georgia Regents University, and the Richmond County School System.
