On Tuesday, March 24, the Metro State Cyber Clinic participated in the Job Fair at Edina High School, continuing its commitment to community engagement and cybersecurity workforce development. The event provided an important opportunity to introduce high school students to cybersecurity career pathways and the academic programs available at Metro State University.
Cyber Clinic representatives Joseph Dzewonyuy and Mohamed Abdo engaged directly with students by sharing their experiences as upper-division cybersecurity students participating in real-world risk assessments, vulnerability analysis, and compliance-focused projects through the Cyber Clinic. Their conversations helped students better understand the growing importance of cybersecurity, the educational pathways into the field, and the practical skills needed for future careers in technology and security.
The event had a strong impact by increasing awareness of cybersecurity education and helping students envision themselves in cybersecurity-related careers. Through real-world examples and peer-to-peer engagement, the Metro State Cyber Clinic continues to strengthen the connection between education, workforce preparation, and community outreach while inspiring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
