The lack of soft skills such as communication, diversity, leadership, and work ethics being taught in programs reduces the effectiveness of cybersecurity experts as organizations across all industry sectors become targets of increasingly complex and debilitating attacks. We propose a program to improve the career-readiness of future workforce by increasing soft skill competencies, encouraging engagement through experiential learning, and providing opportunities for learning and networking through professional development using mixed reality tools and other novel activities.
