Education

Future Practitioner Education


Educating the next generation of practitioners is just as important as educating current practitioners. Developing and mentoring the successors of today's local, state, national, and international leaders is vital to the continued enhancement of our national security.

GNSI will work with our USF colleagues and partners to develop programs/initiatives focused on creating opportunities for ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps interested in pursuing a national security career.  These opportunities include:

The ISI Programme at Cambridge ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp

We're proud to partner with The International Security and Intelligence Programme presented by the Cambridge Security Initiative & The Department of War Studies at King's College London at Emmanuel College at the ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapp of Cambridge, in Cambridge, England. Each year, we'll be sending ÅÝܽÊÓÆµapps to ISI Programme.
