Oceus is excited to announce our industry partnership in the 2022 Commonwealth Initiative internships. As part of this initiative, Oceus will be hosting interns this summer to provide them with on-the-ground experience in cyber-related business.

The second annual Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) and Northern Virginia Node (NoVA Node) internship program comprises the region’s universities, colleges, and private, nonprofit, and government organizations, all sharing a commitment to building capacity in cybersecurity. Thirty rising seniors and rising first-year college students were chosen out of the 179 applications and interview process to comprise the second NoVA Node Cohort.

The program includes a virtual two-week professional skills training boot camp with the Science Center where the interns develop communication, collaboration, project management and presentation skills through team projects and interaction with industry and science center experts. The boot camp is followed by a five-week placement in a cyber related business allowing for collaboration between fundamental skills training and meaningful industry understanding.
