About This Archive

The announcements above represent a chapter of CyberLearning’s history focused on K-12 STEM+ expansion, large-scale grant initiatives, and corporate partnerships that underwrote district-level rollouts. Our work has continued since — with an increasing emphasis on cybersecurity education, managed IT services for K-12, and stackable workforce credentials for adult learners — and partner-facing announcements today are typically shared directly with participating districts, boards, and sponsors rather than through the press.

Why Programs Evolved

Three shifts reshaped what CyberLearning announces publicly. First, the cybersecurity threat landscape moved from a back-office concern to a board-level risk for every school district, so our K-12 work now routinely bundles managed IT services and cybersecurity education alongside curriculum. Second, the workforce-development landscape shifted toward stackable credentials that employers recognize (CompTIA, Cisco, PMI, IIBA), which redirected some of our adult-education announcements toward partner workforce boards. Third, federal and state reporting expectations for grant-funded programs matured, so measurement (credential attainment, measurable skill gain, completion) now drives more of what gets published.

Press Inquiries

Journalists, editors, and communications teams covering education, cybersecurity, managed IT services, or workforce development can reach us through the contact page. Please include publication, deadline, and topic focus so we can route the request to the right program lead. For details on our current programs, see:

Editorial Style

We prefer concrete, verifiable details over marketing copy. When a reporter asks whether a specific district, cohort, or sponsor wants to be named, we confirm with the partner before sharing. For quotes, we try to route inquiries to the program lead closest to the work rather than a communications generalist — that tends to produce a better interview for everyone.

Photography and B-Roll

For communications teams that need program photography for a story or feature, we maintain a representative photo gallery covering K-12 classrooms, cybersecurity training, adult-education programs, grants, and international partnerships. Higher-resolution source files and framing support are available through the contact page.

Speakers and Subject-Matter Experts

CyberLearning program leads are available for speaking, panel, and subject-matter-expert interviews on topics including K-12 cybersecurity education, managed IT services for school districts, workforce-development grant design, stackable IT credentials, adult-learner reskilling pathways, and public-private partnerships in international education. Please include topic, format, and audience in your request.
