Powering an economic engine for Vermont—and beyond
There’s a reason why more than half of NuHarbor Security employees are Champlain College graduates. When the Colchester-based cybersecurity startup launched in 2014, it needed a skilled, reliable workforce. So the growing company partnered with Champlain to develop internships and programming to prepare students to join their fast-paced team.
At Champlain, we want our students to have transformative, career-focused experiences that encourage them to stay and work in communities that need their energy, passion, and talents.
