The security firm Trend Micro has donated $10,000 (£6,600) to a technology school in Silicon Valley in a bid to entice pupils into cybersecurity.
The Santa Clara-based Mission College Center for Innovation and Technology (MC2IT) will use the grant on resources and expertise from the industry, as it seeks to meet the needs of a quickly changing industry.
"As part of our responsibility to help keep the world safe for exchanging digital information, Trend Micro is helping MC2IT rebuild existing curriculums while recommending relevant courses," said Raimund Genes, CTO at Trend Micro.
"The addition of these types of courses will help students to become future experts and next generation leaders in cyber security."
Daniel Peck, president of Mission College, said it would use Trend Micro and other members of its security advisory board to further the above aim.
"We have the right people collaborating, bringing their passion to the security profession to motivate students and others interested in learning more about technology careers," he added.
