UN Pledge: "CyberReSkill" Initiative by Cyber Qubits

Updated: Jan 30





Cyber Qubits is committed to advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals through the "Cyber ReSkill" Initiative. Our efforts align with:

  • SDG 4 (Quality Education),

  • SDG 5: (Gender equality),

  • SDG 8 (Decent Work, and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities),

  • SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions) fostering inclusive opportunities for education, workforce development, and social impact.


In a time when AI and automation are rapidly advancing, the recent wave of layoffs in the tech industry has left a pool of highly skilled professionals seeking new opportunities. Since the beginning of the year, Colorado has experienced sizable layoffs, with 36 employers letting go of approximately 2,500. Moreover, this year a total of 52,985 workers in U.S.-based tech companies have faced job losses, as reported by Crunchbase News. Looking back to 2023, mass job cuts resulted in the layoffs of over 191,000 workers in U.S.-based tech companies, or tech companies with a substantial U.S. workforce.


Recognizing the need to channel these talents into the growing field of cybersecurity, Cyber Qubits launched the “Cyber ReSkill Initiative” and invites local community stakeholders to be part of the movement. The cybersecurity skills gap is evident nationwide. Cyberseek.org reports over 14,414 cybersecurity job openings in Colorado and a staggering 448,033 across the United States.
