Introduction
The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) defines the work within the cybersecurity field, raises national awareness about the risks in cyberspace, helps the Nation maintain a globally-competitive cybersecurity workforce, and broadens the pool of skilled workers capable of supporting a cyber-secure Nation. NICCS underscores all elements of NICE, and serves as a National resource for government, industry, academia, and the public to learn about cybersecurity awareness, education, careers, and workforce development opportunities.
The NICCS interactive Training Catalog is currently under development. The Training Catalog will provide a robust listing of all the cybersecurity or cybersecurity-related education and training courses offered in the U.S. NICCS will not teach the courses, but rather will provide a central resource to help people find the information on courses they want or need.
The Training Catalog will allow users to search for education and training courses based on a variety of criteria including: location, modality, and Framework Specialty Area. To get an idea of what the Training Catalog will be like click on "Try our Demo" tab.
Here is where we need your help!
To make the Training Catalog a useful resource, we need your help! We are asking education and training providers to submit a list of their courses, mapped to the Framework, which can be included in our database.
What's in it for my organization?
Inclusion in the catalog makes your courses visible to a wide audience – every cybersecurity professional across the Nation– and delivers cybersecurity professionals the resources they need to build new skills.
Is your organization interested in participating? Please email the NICS SO if you would like to be included in future mailings with more detailed instructions about the catalog, and how to upload your content.
Don't forget to check back here for updates as the Training Catalog gets close to its launch date in 2013!
