Case Study: Arapahoe Community College enhances cybersecurity curriculum validation with SkillsEngine

Arapahoe Community College launches cybersecurity program with SkillsEngine and enrolls 100+ learners

Arapahoe Community College (ACC) sought to move beyond traditional methods of employer feedback to validate the competencies in its new Cybersecurity degree program. To achieve a more comprehensive and real-time view of industry needs, ACC partnered with vendor SkillsEngine and utilized their Calibrate software tool.

SkillsEngine's solution enabled ACC to gather robust, employer-validated data, creating a common language for skills across different industries. This resulted in a transformed employer partnership model and a curriculum that reflected actual talent needs. The measurable impact includes the successful launch of a program with over 100 enrolled learners and students securing apprenticeships and full-time roles with employers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon Technologies.
