(TNS) \u2014 Carroll Community College is joining two other local colleges in offering a cybersecurity clinic that\u2019s being funded by the state\u2019s new $4 million investment to expand AI training.The cybersecurity clinic initiative was launched by Howard Community College in 2025, through a nonprofit called Cyber Ready Clinic. Now, Carroll and Frederick County\u2019s community colleges are signing onto it.Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, announced during February\u2019s State of the State Address that Maryland would invest $4 million to expand AI training for workers. \u201cWe need to make sure our workers are not being left behind by AI,\u201d he said.The Maryland Department of Labor awarded $500,000 to Howard Community College to expand the program into Carroll and Frederick counties. The spinoff programs are expected to begin this fall.\u201cYou can\u2019t do cybersecurity without touching AI,\u201d said Minah Woo, Howard Community College\u2019s vice president of workforce, innovation and strategic partnerships. She told the Carroll County Times that \u201cAI is infused in the cybersecurity clinic that we are providing.\u201dThe money will fund the clinic \u2014 a 10-week, paid internship program \u2014 for three years, said Kelly Koermer, Carroll Community\u2019s vice president of workforce, business and community education. In-person meetings and virtual coaching will round out the learning opportunities, she wrote in an email to the Carroll County Times. The three-year span means training will be offered to multiple cohorts of students.Koermer highlighted the way community colleges prepare the workforce for changing labor needs. \u201cCommunity colleges play a central role in that effort because we are designed to respond quickly to industry needs, align education with real\u2011world applications, and prepare talent at scale,\u201d she wrote.Carroll participants will include current cybersecurity students, as well as information technology professionals looking to expand their cybersecurity experience, Koermer said. Participants will receive a stipend after successfully finishing the program.Matt Day, the director of Carroll Community\u2019s cybersecurity program, said: \u201cThis will be an opportunity for [students] to take their skill set that they\u2019ve learned in the classroom and then apply it to an organization or a small business in the community to benefit that organization.\u201dDay said some of the program specifics are still in the planning stage. Because the community colleges are advancing the program collectively, they\u2019ll find internship opportunities for students across the counties.\u00a92026 Baltimore Sun.
