@ Area of Priority 3: Implement measures cybersecurity to support Education, Awareness and Workforce Development in The reality is that there are simply not enough skilled personnel available in cybersecurity, and if there is personnel most government employees utilize technology to perform their duties. Therefore, they need to be informed about the severe consequences that may arise from just one mistake. Additionally, the cybersecurity workforce is a diverse group of practitioners who govern, design, defend, analyze, administer, operate, and maintain the data, systems, and networks, therefore building a pool of talent in Belize, will serve to benefit the country as technology advances. This component seeks to raise the level of national awareness as well, on key cybersecurity issues and focuses on specific messaging for targeted audiences. The importance of security awareness training in government cannot be overemphasized. Just as awareness training in the health sector can help improve the standard of living and avoid certain diseases, so security awareness mitigate consequences of cyber incidents. By promoting an awareness of digital rights, recognizing that this issue, if treated as a human right is a concern for everyone, efforts will be made to build campaigns to help the public understand that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. 7 Objectives: Coordinating Institutions: Initiatives and policies that supports the Lead: Ministry with responsibility for Education and development of a cybersecurity workforce defend, Technology analyze, administer and Partners: maintain the data, systems, and networks developed Belize Chamber 1.1 Review existing workforce development Timeline: frameworks such as the National Initiative for Long Term Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework to identify specialty knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to develop a national cybersecurity workforce survey 1.2 Undertake a cybersecurity workforce study using the survey to determine skills gap needed at the national level 1.3 Undertake consultation with universities including University of Belize and the University of the West Indies, to identify specific course curriculum needed based on cybersecurity workforce study results and create a national training catalog of cybersecurity related courses available nationally 1.4 Develop a national training/workforce development plan that leverages on existing educational of-ferings (certificates, degrees, etc.) and Industry, University of Belize Association of Computing Machinery Student Chapter Activities: areas, work roles, tasks, and of Commerce and incorporates gaps identified in the cybersecurity workforce study National Cybersecurity Strategy - Towards A Secure Cyberspace 2020-2023
