 capabilities and strengths of all participants to produce results greater than any could have achieved separately. Cyber education and workforce development ecosystems need access to better data. Currently, state or federal longitudinal data do not completely describe the national cyber workforce in ways that enable workforce development, economic development, and education agencies to track the demand for cyber skills and labor market trends. Access to low or no-cost workforce development tools would empower ecosystems. Departments and agencies have made significant strides in developing free online tools to assist employers in understanding and meeting their cyber skill needs. Examples include the Workforce GPS from the Department of Labor,77 the National Training Catalog from CISA,78 the CyberSeek Education and Training Provider listing,79 and free and low-cost online cybersecurity learning content from NICE.80 Industry, non-profit groups, and education institutions have also made important contributions. Increasing access to these vital tools would help more workers enter or advance in the cyber workforce. Lines of Effort 3.1.1 Encourage more robust stakeholder involvement in ecosystems. ONCD and NCWCG will explore and share methods of developing cyber talent and connecting employers to workers with cyber skills. Federal departments and agencies will explore using funding to support cyber workforce development ecosystems using approaches embodied in the Department of Commerce strategic plan,81 the Good Job Principles jointly developed by the Departments of Commerce and Labor,82 and the Unlocking Career Success initiative at the Department of Education.83 Employers, labor organizations, and trade associations are encouraged to be active leaders in cyber workforce development ecosystems. As they bring industry cyber expertise to training and education programs, all stakeholders will benefit from the creation of a more robust pool of potential future cyber workers. 3.1.2 Improve cyber workforce data interoperability and analysis. ONCD and the NCWCG will assess systems and processes that collect, analyze, and share data to improve our ability to describe the state of the national cyber workforce by industry and occupational classification. The Department of Labor’s Bureaus of Labor Statistics and the Department of Commerce’s Census Bureau will work across the government to refine and map cyber-related economic and employment statistics to provide ecosystem stakeholders with insights into current and anticipated cyber workforce needs.
