Workforce Development Track

Connecting k12 to Career

Full-Pipeline Collaboration to Accelerate Workforce Development

The National Cyber Summit is taking a bold step to help fill the pipeline faster…

The National Cyber Summit, the nation’s most innovative cyber security-technology event, will feature an entire track focused on k12 cyber education to raise inter-sector awareness and foster full-pipeline collaboration.

Most students pick a career before entering college making k12 schools critical to the cyber pipeline. But since cyber is such a new subject, misconceptions often hold schools back adding cyber courses. On the other hand, many of the strongest k12 cyber programs started due to industry professionals’ influence.

We believe full-pipeline collaboration could be the catalyst needed to reduce and, eventually, end the cyber workforce professional shortage.
 

Track Features:

• Feature invitation-only speakers selected for their proven track-record in cyber education leadership and innovation.
• Draw from best practices in STEM education and workforce research to focus on ways to catalyze growth.
• Support k12 educators’ awareness of the profession
• Showcase high-impact “zero-to-employable” resources, such as CyberStart America

All k12 cyber teachers are encouraged to attend – both new and experienced!
