Kochi National College of Technology was selected for the national functional strengthening project to secure advanced information specialist human resources, and is responsible for operating the KOSEN Cybersecurity Education Promotion Center, which is focused on cultivating cybersecurity human resources for the National Institute of Technology. In addition, it has the only curriculum on "information security" among the national colleges of technology in Japan, and promotes practical education in this field.
