The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $300,017 Cooperative Agreement under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach program (CFDA 11.620) to the Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE), doing business as The Dayton-Miami Valley Consortium, for the Cybersecurity Consortium of Southwestern Ohio (CCSO) project. The 24-month project aims to establish a regional cybersecurity education, research, and training corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton, involving collaboration with K-12 institutions, higher education, and community organizations. The project will apply the NICE Framework to gain a deeper understanding of local cybersecurity workforce needs and develop curricula, degree program evaluations, and student internship and job placement opportunities to address the cybersecurity skills gap and diversify the talent pool in Ohio and the Midwest.
