Try Cyber is a web application for cyber work role discovery and exploration. It provides the cyber curious access to short 15-minute hands-on micro-challenges, where you can experience a day-one internship as one of the ten supported NICE Framework cyber work roles partnered with a fictional mentor.

During the challenge, the work role mentor will message you through a text chat to help you start the challenge tasks and teach you about the work role. As you complete the tasks using the provided virtual machine, the automated task list will update and let you know when you've completed the challenge; after which you will be provided a list of resource links to help you find the next steps on your journey to a career in cyber!
