AFSC Software Directorate

Did you know that our Software Organizational Development Office (S**O), located at Hill AFB, works with local high schoolers who show an interest in coding and cybersecurity? Every year, S**O partners with the Northern Utah Academy for Math, Engineering, and Science (NUAMES) to mentor teens who show an interest in STEM careers with the Air Force. During the internship, students choose whether they would like to explore coding through game design or a path in cybersecurity.
At the end of their internship, the students present to leadership on what they learned during their mentorship, how they felt about a future career in STEM, and what lessons they can take away as they further their education. We're so proud of these bright young men and women!

It's always a pleasure to host the bright minds from Fort Valley State University (FVSU) at the 402d Software Engineering Group (SWEG)! Twice a year, we have the fantastic opportunity to give them a tour of 402 SWEG, showcasing the differences between their labs and our operational environment.
These visits are a highlight for us. We are so impressed by the students' attention, interest, and the great questions they ask—not just about our day-to-day work, but also about college advice, career paths, and life experiences. It’s this exchange that makes working with FVSU so valuable.
We love sharing the diverse career opportunities available within the 402d SWEG and the Software Directorate and are already looking forward to their next visit!
