Description
- Activities
- The applicant institution has proposed a well-structured program that includes creating opportunities for more professional instructors to add their knowledge to the curriculum to ensure the curriculum reflects the latest needs of employers to focus on skills development and hands-on training activities, not just the acquisition of certifications and degrees, and to connect students to employers through career events and job fairs.
- Expected outcomes
- The program will measure the success of their efforts through a variety of kpis, including the number of participating students and their respective graduation and hire rates, new start-UPS, updates, and enhancements to curriculum and training programs, new research initiatives, and dollars attracted by funding institutions, industry sponsorships, and events. With careful management, the outcome should be a robust and self-sustaining model of regional cybersecurity workforce development with a much greater pipeline of talent available to local and national employers.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The most significant beneficiary will be the nation's cybersecurity readiness, with the more highly trained talent available for employers. Immediate beneficiaries of the program are the student participants who will receive an improved educational program that reflects what employers need in their talent. Academics and instructors who participate will receive industry feedback and insights as to the curriculum, technology, and software used to educate the students. This collaboration will assuredly enrich the start-up community associated with the institution, leading to economic uplift for the region.
