Community-Based Workforce Model
& National Backbone
Washington is where the CyberAI model was proven and continues to lead workforce pathways, apprenticeships, and applied training systems.
Where the Model Was Proven
The CyberAI initiative builds on work developed in Washington State through the Connect Across Tacoma program, where community-based workforce development, digital equity, and applied training were integrated into a single, scalable system.
Led by Tacoma Cooperative Network (TCN) and BBR Academy, the Washington hub serves as the foundation for how CyberAI delivers training, builds partnerships, and connects participants to real employment opportunities.

Building Pathways from Access to Employment
CyberAI helps learners move from community-based access points into training, certification, paid experience, and employment in high-demand sectors. At the same time, this approach gives communities and partners a practical workforce model they can implement, evaluate, and grow over time.
