About the Workshop:
Validate your expertise and get the leverage you need to move up in your teaching career. With a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification, you can do just that. CISA is world-renowned as the standard of achievement for those who audit, control, monitor and assess an organization’s information technology and business systems.
CISA certification is foundational to a successful IT career. If you are an entry-level to mid-career professional, CISA can showcase your expertise and assert your ability to apply a risk-based approach to planning, executing, and reporting on audit engagements. Gain instant credibility in your interactions with internal stakeholders, regulators, external auditors, and customers.
CISA provides a valid and reliable means for enterprises to identify technologists who are competent in incorporating privacy by design into technology platforms, products and processes, communicating with legal professionals, and keeping the organization compliant efficiently and cost effectively.
Stipend:
Eligible community college faculty who successfully pass the CISA certification exam will receive a stipend toward the cost of the certification.
To be eligible for the stipend, you must:
- Currently teach credit courses (full-time or adjunct) at a regionally accredited U.S. community or technical college
- Provide evidence that you passed the certification exam, such as a copy of the certification or exam report
- Provide a current W9 tax form to the NCyTE Center
Facilitator:
Dr. John Sands, Co-PI of NCyTE and Director of the Center for Systems Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA) and professor at Moraine Valley Community College in Chicago, and his team of expert instructors (Jiri Jirik, Michael Qaissaunee, and Kyle Jones) will lead the workshop.
