The Cyber Security Pre-Apprenticeship program with We Love Philly was intentionally created for high school-aged youth. It is based on the State Registered Apprenticeship best practices and partners with local cyber security companies, community non-profit partners, and a Registered Apprenticeship partner in Drexel University. During the experience, youth receive intensive classroom training and certification in creative and industry-recognized technology skills, work on client projects, and complete job shadow experiences with local employers.

Youth in this program will build a cyber security portfolio that highlights their relevant skills and accomplishments to showcase their knowledge of essential skills and ideas related to cyber security. By the end of the program, youth will earn a Google Cyber Security certification through Coursera and host an event to educate the community on the basics of cyber security and to demonstrate what they learned.
