The QUED-UP Ambassador Program is a community-driven initiative that empowers volunteers, supporters, educators, professionals, parents, students, and advocates to help expand access to technology education, cybersecurity training, certifications, and career opportunities.

As a QUED-UP Ambassador, you become part of a movement dedicated to sponsoring 2,400 students into technology and cybersecurity career pathways by 2026. Your voice, network, and support can help create life-changing opportunities for students who may not otherwise have access to these resources.

What Is a QUED-UP Ambassador?

A QUED-UP Ambassador is someone who believes in the power of education, workforce development, and opportunity.

Ambassadors help raise awareness, build community support, connect students with resources, and promote the mission of QUED-UP within their personal and professional networks.
