Announcing A Cyber Pre- Apprentice Internship Program for Juniors & Seniors!
Jackson discusses his experience going through the Pre-Apprenticeship Program
Jackson wants to start a career in cyber security to help others. He discusses how the program begins by going over the fundamentals of software so people with no prior knowledge of the topics can learn from the beginning. This program is great for students who are interested in a cyber security career.
Cybersecurity by the Numbers
Just two years ago there were about 300,000 unfilled cybersecurity jobs in the United States according to the Department of Commerce. That number has surged to more than 500,000. Cyberseek.org, a project of CompTIA, Burning Glass, and the National Initiative for Cyber Education (NICE), document these gaps by state.
For Employers
At Lionfish, we look at your cyber security steps as an entire process and will encourage you to hire a high school intern for a 4-month period. An internship offers a high school junior or senior an opportunity for CompTIA-based IT training coupled with on-the-job learning at your facility or even virtually. We train the intern, so you don’t have to.
Lionfish will offer employers, like you, access to a compliance framework as the path forward for all internships through the Lionfish Cyber Tackle Box, for compliance. With a trained intern, cyber teams will find that they can work through the 17 practices required for CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), Level 1 in any tech facility. With this level of cybersecurity protection achieved, your company will be in a strong position to achieve ongoing cyber resiliency now or later.
Build your cybersecurity team and driving diversity in cybersecurity roles.

For School Leaders, Including Counselors & Principals
It’s Time to Grow Talent in Tech Fields Especially Cyber Security! That’s Why Lionfish Cyber Security will partner with your school to bring in our Cybersecurity Pre-Apprenticeship Internship Program for Qualified Juniors & Seniors.
Students are generally introduced to new experiences in every internship, and a cyber pre-apprenticeship internship can train them to better understand how to operate within a tech career. This internship will allow for learning as well as an hourly wage or a stipend for students via employers who participate. There may be an opportunity for class credits, dependent on your school parameters, to assist students in meeting degree requirements.
All related training courses will be CompTIA courses. Each semester the courses being taught will be determined via assessment of students participating, and the Lionfish personnel available for mentoring and training oversight. And, we are supported in partnership by the Hamilton County Center for Career Achievement.

We know the ropes and track their progress through the set programs based on roles.
At Lionfish, we train all interns with our team first, support and grade them based on our checklists for processes, procedures, and knowledge management. This affords you the opportunity to have an intern that meets set national standards, understands his or her role, has done some implementation while under Lionfish care, and will be ready to bring procedures, best practices, and process management with him or her.
We can scale your cyber security programs, and upskill individuals alongside your intern if desired. 86% of employers have to provide on-the-job training for traditional new cyber security-related hires, according to the annual ISACA® Global State of Cybersecurity Survey. With an intern over a period of 4 months, the employer gets a great deal of value at an affordable rate. Graduating interns can transition to apprenticeships where they rise on the pay scale alongside their knowledge if desired.
