What tenants say about the National Cyber Research Park:
General Dynamics Information Technology
“I’ve had the honor of serving missions like this throughout the United States, and what makes Bossier unique is that they lean into helping employers employ people. Many of our employees start at entry-level roles and then work their way up, and they don’t do that through just GDIT’s practices and learning capabilities; they do that through some of our external partners that happen to be in this very complex.” - Jay Johnson, Vice President of Technology Shared Services Customer Engagement
Bossier Parish Community College
“Being part of the National Cyber Research Park strengthens BPCC’s mission and expands opportunities for our students. The NCRP connects education, industry, and innovation in a way that accelerates workforce development for our region.” - Dr. Rick Bateman, Chancellor
Louisiana Tech Research Institute
“Being anchored in the National Cyber Research Park provides the Louisiana Tech Research Institute with strong connections to both industry and academia. The collective expertise across these organizations spans workforce development, upskilling and reskilling initiatives, and groundbreaking innovative problem-solving locally and nationally. The partnerships fostered within the NCRP serve as a powerful economic force multiplier for our region.” — Warren Ward, Executive Director
