[[ BY DESIGN,]] NOT DEFAULT

WHAT IS
NATIONAL SECURITY?

National security means the safety and resilience of people, communities, and technologies that sustain dignity, democracy, and trust. Career pathways include government, industry, and civil society.

OUR

PROGRAMS

Through education, mentorship, workforce development, and technology, we prepare the next generation to engage with the sectors, technologies, and policies shaping national and global security.

Our programs translate complex security challenges into accessible learning experiences, connect diverse young people to experienced leaders, and open pathways in critical sectors. We are ensuring that the future of security is innovative, resilient, and rooted in human dignity.
