Keiser University has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aimed at growing DHS’s workforce in key areas related to national security and other pertinent homeland security missions.

Under the partnership, Keiser University campuses throughout Florida and online will collaborate with DHS to expand recruitment to Keiser students and recent graduates to fill critical workforce vacancies in homeland security, such as in cybersecurity. The organizations will identify and promote career path planning and internships for students majoring in critically needed fields such as information technology (IT), law enforcement, criminal justice, and emergency management. The goal is to create a pipeline of Keiser University graduates who are prepared to protect critical infrastructure (CI), individuals, public and private organizations, and physical and digital security assets.
