For example, a local hospital system may collaborate with municipal governments and postsecondary educational institutions to develop curricula and mentor students. Ecosystem projects may leverage funding from government at various levels. Examples of federal investments include Regional Innovation Engines58 and Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace,59 both led by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs funded by the Economic Development Administration in the Department of Commerce,60 NICE Regional Alliances and Multistakeholder Partnerships to Stimulate (RAMPS) Cybersecurity Education, Training, and Workforce Development funded by NIST,61 and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) CyberNet program funded by the Department of Education and the National Security Agency (NSA).62 Lines of Effort 2.1.1 Expand and support cyber education ecosystems. The Biden-Harris Administration will work with Congress to promote successful ecosystem models in every state by funding cyber education ecosystems through programs such as the NSF Regional Innovation Engines, NICE RAMPS, and CTE CyberNet. ONCD will identify and highlight examples of successful cyber education and workforce development ecosystems across the United States, especially models that exhibit best practices in the areas of sustainability, adaptation, and replicability. This effort will foster the nationwide sharing of effective strategies and best practices. 2.1.2 Increase engagement in cyber education ecosystems. Employers, industry groups, labor organizations, service organizations, and chambers of commerce are encouraged to participate actively in the development and delivery of cyber education and training programs. Stakeholders should engage in formal education systems, such as K-12 schools, community colleges, and institutions offering four-year and advanced degree programs. They should also engage in informal programs such as summer camps, hackathons, boot camps, and online learning content. Programs should increase awareness of cyber skills in demand in the workforce and be accessible to community partners, including learners, families, counselors, and mentors. The NCWCG will explore how the federal government can provide incentives to employers to engage actively in ecosystems and highlight examples of success. SLTT governments are encouraged to do the same. 15 NATIONAL CYBER WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION STRATEGY
