If you want a career in a field that requires a security clearance, get a head start by attending the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative’s Clearance Preparedness Program.

This informational seminar series, which is free, includes 10 monthly 60-minute virtual modules, in which you’ll learn about the clearance process and what you can expect in clearance-level roles. There is no registration deadline.
