ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Millennium Corporation was given the opportunity to work with The Maryland Center and partner with Bowie State University ("BSU") to foster the growth of their cybersecurity-focused students. Through this partnership, BSU students will be able to work directly with Millennium's engineering department, cyber operations team, Red Team, and Millennium's affiliate company Kfivefour. These students will be able to participate directly on various government contracts, commercial offerings, and receive mentorship from Millennium's and Kfivefour's highly skilled engineering and cyber operations team.

"With this partnership between our organizations, students will get exposed to real-world research, advanced problem solving, and specialized engineering projects dealing with cybersecurity. BSU can identify gaps in course offerings and learn to shape and hone its curriculum to match the current and future requirements needed for today's fast-paced and ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. This partnership will, in course, benefit the Department of Defense, government contractors, and other federal agencies," said Kevin Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, Millennium Corporation.
