MDC’s Cybersecurity
Center of the Americas
Preps Trainees for Fast-Growing Profession
Cyberattacks are a growing area of concern across every
industry in the United States. But there’s a problem: the
country does not have enough qualified cybersecurity
workers to meet industry demands.
Miami Dade College wants to change that. At the Col-
lege’s new Cybersecurity Center for the Americas, stu-
dents and working professionals can receive the training
they need to identify cyberattacks, upgrade an existing
cybersecurity network and fill one of the thousands of
open cybersecurity jobs in South Florida and the United
States. Trainees at all experience levels work in a security
operation center environment, known as an SOC, where
they are tasked with blocking cyberattacks.
“One wrong move is all it takes to turn a cybersecurity
incident into a full-on disaster,” said Jorge Ortega, direc-
tor of the Cybersecurity Center of the Americas. “MDC’s
cybersecurity program brings theory, practice, technical
expertise and managerial competency together to pro-
duce confident graduates with in-demand skills.”
Utilizing the new Cyberbit Range, a hyper-realistic simu-
lation platform capable of mimicking different network
attack scenarios, trainees – including students enrolled
in the Associate in Science in Network Security and the
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree
programs – receive an immersive education that merges
classroom instruction with hands-on action. The center
offers training, certification and assessment for commer-
cial and public sector organizations.
Sixty-six percent of U.S. employers do not have enough
cybersecurity professionals to combat potential threats,
according to the nonprofit Center for Cyber Safety and
Education. The center reports the cybersecurity work-
force will be short by 1.8 million employees by 2022,
establishing that training programs such as MDC’s are
necessary to fill that projected workforce gap.

DESIGNING
YOUR OWN
FUTURE
MDC Adult Education
Program Helps Students
Achieve More
The path to earning a college degree doesn’t always begin
right after high school. Just ask Leandro Dorta Duque,
an electrical engineering and computer science major at
Cornell University, who arrived in the United States from
Cuba five years ago with limited English skills, no SAT scores
and a dream to become an engineer.

“I came to the U.S when I was 20 and was undocumented

for a year,” said Duque, who because of his legal status was
not eligible to enroll in college and pay in-state tuition. On
the advice of a friend, he decided to enroll in non-credit
English courses through Adult Education at Miami Dade
College while he waited for his residency.

It was there that Duque met Ana Maria Guadayol, an

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) professor
and advisor at MDC, Kendall Campus, who helped him lay
the foundation for his future. “The mission of our ESOL
program is to help non-native English speakers learn the
language so they can either get into college or back into the
workforce,” Guadayol said. “Together, we figure out what
path they’re going to take and I map out the steps to help
guide them.”

Duque’s path included learning English while studying for

the SATs, getting a scholarship to attend the MDC Honors
College and earning an Associate in Arts in Computer
Engineering. Then he successfully transferred to a
baccalaureate program at Cornell University – all within
three years.

“I always had engineering on my mind but was lost when

it came to the process of how to pursue it,” Duque said. “I
had no idea how anything worked in the U.S., so it’s thanks
to the people who guided me that I’m at Cornell now.”

But his journey isn’t over yet. Duque plans to pursue a

master’s in engineering at Cornell next year. “My ultimate
goal is to one day create my own company related to
medical devices,” he said.

Scholarship Program for
Child Care Educators Expands
For anyone interested in a career in the child care indus-
try, there is big news. The Children’s Trust, a dedicated
revenue source to support local children and families, has
expanded its scholarship program and allocated $1 million
for the 2018-19 school year toward education and profes-
sional development foreducators studying early childhood.
It’s been more than 10 years since an initiative was estab-
lished in partnership with Miami Dade College to improve
educators’ qualifications. Previously, only about one-third
of the day care centers and pre-schools in Miami-Dade
County qualified to access these funds for their personnel.
Now that’s changed. In Fall 2018, the quality-improve-
ment initiative shifted to a new model and expanded so
that educators studying early childhood from all licensed
facilities in Miami-Dade County – about 1,700 in all – can
participate.
“The Children’s Trust has always supported scholarships for
teacher education and training,” said Rachel Spector, senior
program manager at The Children’s Trust. “This expansion
is an intentional approach to help professionalize the ear-
ly-learning workforce. We wanted to offer more support.”
The Children’s Forum manages the Early Learning Career
Center, which helps teachers and aides plan and exe-
cute their career goals. Scholarship recipients can use
the money toward conferences, child care credentials
and renewals, credit classes, document translation for
foreign-trained professionals and continuing education
requirements. In addition to college credits, state-required
22
credentials and courses for program administrators, MDC
also offers a wide range of continuing education courses
taught in Spanish for child care workers.
MDC Continuing Education Professor Fabiola Lozano said
that there has been a lot of demand for the Spanish-lan-
guage child care training courses she teaches. “It’s a great
opportunity for people who are immigrants because these
classes can help make their dreams come true,” she said.
“We know that early-childhood educators improve their
interactions with children when they have more support
and credentials. It’s all based on research,” said Dasiely
Cruz, director of the Early Learning Career Center at The
Children’s Forum. “We have more work to do, but this is a
great first step.”
The scholarships for early childhood educators in Miami-
Dade County are intended to improve knowledge, skills,
classroom practices and ultimately the quality of care
offered to children. For more information, email cemain@
mdc.edu with your name, facility name, email, phone
number or call 305-237-0651.
