Cybersecurity Education, Workforce and Economic Development Alliance (HRCyber)

For more information about this project see the HRCyber website: securitybehavior.com/hrcyberFunding for this project was provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Regional Alliances and Multi-stakeholder Partnerships to Stimulate (RAMPS) Cybersecurity Education and Workforce Development program. The NIST-led National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) oversees the grants.

The Hampton Roads Cybersecurity Education, Workforce and Economic Development Alliance (HRCyber) is a partnership among educational institutions, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private employers focused on developing educational pathways from high school through community college to four-year institutions and continued professional development, providing a capable and fully trained cybersecurity workforce for the region.

HRCyber aligns regional educational and skills development offerings with the workforce practices and activities of business and nonprofit organizations within the Hampton Roads region, with the specific goal of supporting local economic development and job growth via establishment of a multi-stakeholder Alliance.

The Alliance focuses on leveraging the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Framework, addressing cyber workforce needs, training providers conforming to the NICE Framework, and increasing the pipeline of students pursuing cybersecurity careers by aligning high school, community college, and university coursework with the needs of local employers.

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE

HAMPTON ROADS

GoalsCoordinate educational pathways among public high schools (Hampton City Schools, Virginia Beach City Public Schools/Advanced Technology Center, and Newport News Public Schools), community colleges (Tidewater Community College and Thomas Nelson Community College) and four-year institutions (Old Dominion University and the College of William & Mary).

Gather, organize and make available information from the regional workforce about the knowledge and skills needed in cybersecurity programs using the NICE-identified knowledge, skills, and abilities framework and revise curricula where needed.

Coordinate academic programming among educational institutions and workforce to ensure relevance and linkages to the NICE Framework.
