Digital Trust Workforce Inclusion Program

ISACA's Academic and Workforce Development Program and the ISACA Foundation are building a diverse and inclusive cyber workforce.

The Digital Trust Workforce Inclusion Program, in partnership with donors, provides learners from underrepresented populations with a free pathway into the field of IT. In 2023, five cities in the United States received a two- to five-month in-person training program. A total of 185 participants, who come from underrepresented and underserved populations, received critical training in IT and emerging tech. For 2024, we expanded the program to nine new cities.

We are excited to announce that in 2025 we have expanded the program outside of the US to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.   

Through the program, eligible participants can access ISACA's certificates at no cost to help them launch their careers. The Digital Trust Workforce Inclusion Program provides an innovative, collaborative approach in cyber skill training including:

• Weekly in-person classes facilitated by ISACA-certified industry experts
• Certification exam prep
• Job readiness workshops and career fairs
• ISACA Foundation Continuing Education Stipend for select participants who complete the program
• Access to ISACA mentors, resources, and training

The program is available to adults seeking to enter the IT workforce in the following locations:
