Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
The following will be among the cybersecurity curriculum's main activities: identifying the gaps in cybersecurity education in K12 classrooms and among the local populace by performing a needs assessment. This will include creating cybersecurity curriculum modules for varying levels of experience, defining precise program goals, objectives, and target results, and conducting assessments to ascertain the best course for participants to take before engaging in hands-on activities. To improve the learning process, simulations and case studies will also be employed. Students will have access to webinars and training sessions to improve their technical knowledge and abilities. Infographics, films, and instructional materials will be disseminated to raise awareness among residents and students. Additionally, partnerships will be fostered with local companies, cybersecurity specialists, and industry leaders to offer subject-matter expertise and training.
Expected outcomes
Success in this project will result in increasing cybersecurity awareness for students and the public, facilitating training and development, establishing metrics and guided pathways for career planning, and developing cybersecurity resources through stakeholder partnerships. Based on project outcomes, the mapping of content will provide insights on tasks, knowledge, skills, and competencies required in the cybersecurity workforce.
Intended beneficiaries
The public will be provided with opportunities to participate in educational pathway programs to obtain technical skills sets and certifications for the cybersecurity workforce. Trainings and workshops will address the workforce GAP. The proposed project will make use of its current coalition of workforce development organizations, local employers, and business executives to recruit new employers in the community through their networks to support apprenticeships, externships, internships, and cooperative education programs in partnership with educational and training providers.
