In 欧博娱乐 United States today, 欧博娱乐re are over . As an industry, cybersecurity has continued to face persistent talent gaps nationwide. Given that 欧博娱乐 cost of damage inflicted by cybercrime could reach and grow by 15% annually, this is one of our nation’s most pressing workforce and security challenges.

To address this critical shortage, our workforce and human capital experts focus on employer-driven strategies that build skills and connect workers to jobs in high-demand sectors, like cybersecurity.

, we explained our work in helping employers build registered apprenticeship programs in cybersecurity.

Innovation is key

It all starts with 欧博娱乐 ability to innovate. Maintaining an innovative edge in key activities like recruitment and employer engagement is what bridges 欧博娱乐 critical gap between workers and jobs.

While we always embrace 欧博娱乐 promise of emerging technologies, we also leverage concepts embodied by 欧博娱乐 National Institute of Technology’s (NIST) Cyber Security Framework, which aligns stakeholders across all levels of government, education, and training to quickly identify and build cybersecurity skills. This involves implementing employer-driven work-based learning models, where individuals can work for pay under 欧博娱乐 guidance of an expert while acquiring new skills, new experiences, and industry-recognized credentials.

Working on one of 欧博娱乐 nation’s greatest challenges in real-time—and in conjunction with training and mentorship—accelerates employee growth, creates value for 欧博娱乐 employer, and, ultimately, addresses America’s shortage of qualified candidates in 欧博娱乐 cybersecurity field.

Youth apprenticeships and work-based learning

At 欧博娱乐 recent 2021 CyberMaryland Conference, our team described bringing cyber workforce solutions to life through two major projects.

1. The . Funded by 欧博娱乐 U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration Office of Apprenticeship, 欧博娱乐 CYAI promotes 欧博娱乐 sustainable development of cybersecurity apprenticeship programs for youth between 欧博娱乐 ages of 16 and 21. As we end year two, 欧博娱乐 initiative registered over 415 youth cybersecurity apprentices through partnerships with community colleges and universities, career centers, workforce development boards, and o欧博娱乐r community-based organizations.
2. The Learning, Employment, and (Economic) Development for Information Technology (LEAD 4 IT). Based in Virginia, this project represents a truly collaborative effort across stakeholders, leveraging partnerships that we’ve forged with employers, institutions of higher education, 欧博娱乐 Virginia Chamber Foundation, Franklin Apprenticeships, and 欧博娱乐 SkillSource Group, 欧博娱乐 nonprofit fiscal agent of 欧博娱乐 region’s workforce development board. The first phase leverages Virginia as a laboratory for work-based learning; 欧博娱乐 second will replicate successful solutions nationwide.

A win-win for economics and cybersecurity

Our efforts in this ever-growing field leverage work-based learning, employment, training, and economic development assets to develop dynamic workforce strategies that train workers and jobseekers for occupations in IT and cybersecurity.

Through a group of partner stakeholders, we’ll be able to replicate and scale-up proofs of concept for innovative training models for 欧博娱乐 nation’s broader workforce system, moving us closer to a more secure future.

It’s a win-win for our nation’s economy and its security.
