Retired Congressman Jim Langevin has a new job.
He will be the new head of the Rhode Island College Institute for Cybersecurity and Emerging Technologies, pending funding.
Governor Dan McKee said he'll submit Langevin's appointment as an amendment to the state's fiscal 2024 budget.
“The Cyber Institute will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills required to excel in the digital age. Students will be equipped with the tools and techniques to protect and secure sensitive information from cyber threats and attacks,” said Congressman James Langevin. “Moreover, they will be trained to develop and apply machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to solve complex problems across various industries. The training needed to fill these important job needs can’t come soon enough.”
The governor also said he thanks the former congressmen for his willingness to lend his national expertise to lead the effort.
