Ranger College is thrilled to announce its selection as a recipient of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program. This grant will enable Ranger College to create a 6-month program to prepare students for a career as an Information Security Analyst, a field with strong employment growth and competitive wages. The program, developed in collaboration with local and regional industry employers, has course content aligned with industry expectations. It equips students with essential cybersecurity skills that meet today's job market demands through four 8-week courses. At the conclusion of the program participants will take the Security+ or OSA in Cybersecurity certification exams, opening doors to immediate employment opportunities. 
 
Designed with flexibility and accessibility in mind, the program is fully online. Thanks to the TRUE Grant, the first 10 students enrolled in the program will have their tuition, supplies, and certification testing costs fully covered, removing financial barriers to this opportunity. This grant enables us to address the cybersecurity skills gap while empowering students to secure high earning jobs. This initiative supports the TRUE Grant's mission to create short-term, industry-aligned training programs and underscores Ranger College's dedication to workforce development and empowering students with skills for economic mobility.
