Your Journey Doesn't End with Training
The cybersecurity profession requires more than technical knowledge.
Success comes from developing the experience, leadership, judgment, and professional confidence employers expect.
The MNC Cybersecurity Workforce Hub was built to support your entire career journey—not just your education.
Beyond the Classroom
The MNC Cybersecurity Workforce Hub is designed to support your professional journey throughout your career—not only during your Residency experience.
As you progress through the Cybersecurity Residency Program and earn Certificates of Completion at each phase, the broader Hub ecosystem continues to provide opportunities for growth through:
Professional networking
Leadership development
Apprenticeship pathways
Employer engagement
Career coaching
Continuing professional development
Community support
Whether you are completing your first phase of the Residency Program, advancing to the next level, or entering the workforce, the Hub remains a connected ecosystem that supports your continued development as a cybersecurity professional.
A Structured Pathway, Not a Shortcut
Cybersecurity is a profession that values applied experience, professional maturity, and structured development.
The Cybersecurity Residency Program at MNC-CTC is intentionally designed to build that foundation through progressive, contact-hour–based instruction aligned to the NICE Workforce Framework.
The MNC Cybersecurity Workforce Hub aligns that educational foundation with leadership development and workforce engagement opportunities — while maintaining realistic expectations about professional progression.
This model does not promise shortcuts.
It does not guarantee immediate employment.
It is built on the understanding that long-term success in cybersecurity requires structured growth, practical experience, and professional discipline.
If you are seeking accelerated guarantees or immediate placement, this model may not be the right fit.
If you are seeking intentional development within a coordinated ecosystem that supports long-term advancement, the Hub framework provides clarity, alignment, and professional continuity.

Instead of navigating disconnected organizations, you'll have access to an ecosystem designed to support your professional growth.

Important Clarifier
Mary N. Chaney Cybersecurity Training Center (MNC-CTC) is a Texas Workforce Commission (TWC)–approved career school that provides formal occupational instruction through the Cybersecurity Residency Program.
As the education partner within the MNC Cybersecurity Workforce Hub, MNC-CTC collaborates with two independent organizations that support other stages of the cybersecurity talent lifecycle:
MNC-CTC delivers formal occupational instruction, curriculum, faculty oversight, student services, and regulatory compliance.
Minorities in Cybersecurity (MiC) provides leadership development, mentorship, networking, and professional community programming.
MiC Talent Solutions provides apprenticeship pathways, employer engagement, workforce services, and talent placement.
Together, these organizations create the MNC Cybersecurity Workforce Hub—a coordinated workforce infrastructure model that aligns community, structured education, and workforce pathways to develop employer-ready cybersecurity professionals.
Enrollment at MNC-CTC does not automatically include participation in MiC community programming or MiC Talent Solutions apprenticeship and workforce services. Participation in those programs is separate and subject to their respective eligibility requirements, policies, and enrollment processes.
