The Trellix Emerging Students Cybersecurity Academy (TESCA) is a PPP focused on cultivating the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. Through its programme, Trellix collaborates with universities, with the primary objective of augmenting and expanding learning opportunities for students pursuing STEM education and, specifically, cyber-focused degrees or certificates. 

Trellix contributes its expertise through hands-on workshops and training sessions, covering real-world scenarios such as incident response, blue/red-team exercises and malware analysis. University partners facilitate student participation and provide academic context. The programme has engaged more than 200 students to date, equipping them with practical cybersecurity skills and knowledge. TESCA aims to broaden its outreach to additional universities throughout 2025, further amplifying its impact on cybersecurity talent development. As Trellix connects with students in TESCA it builds relationships and a pipeline for its early-career talent programmes, including internship and apprenticeship programmes that offer hands-on, real-world experience for students while they work on their programme degrees.
