A new chapter in professional learning begins at York University’s Markham Campus with the launch of its first upskilling program – a course designed to help learners safeguard the digital world.
The CISSP Exam Preparation Program is a professional upskilling course that helps learners prepare for the globally recognized Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) designation.
The program is a pathway to certification and the first of its kind at the Markham Campus.
The CISSP Exam Preparation Program reflects York’s strategic focus on equipping professionals with in-demand skills in cybersecurity, says Dan Palermo, Markham Campus deputy provost.
Delivered in a blended format – three weekends of in-class instruction combined with online study – the program is tailored for working professionals to develop expertise, leadership and strategic insight in cybersecurity.
“This program represents a major step forward in our efforts to support the region’s growing tech sector,” says Palermo. “By offering high-impact, industry-aligned training in Markham, we’re helping professionals build the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
The launch of the CISSP program signals the beginning of a broader suite of continuing education offerings at the Markham Campus, which is positioned to serve York Region’s diverse and expanding workforce.
