The Cybersecurity Skills Journal (CSJ) publishes Special Issues with Articles, Notes and Dialogues that impact cybersecurity practice, improve learning, and advance the state of the cybersecurity workforce’s capability maturity. Notes explore new areas, rather than seeking to confirm or disconfirm results of prior research, as is done in an Article. Conference presentations that explore or document challenges encountered by the cybersecurity workforce --from education and training to operational issues such as recruitment, retention and career advancement-- may be readily adapted to the Note format.

Join this special webinar designed to assist presenters identify how to rapidly adapt their existing presentation related to the cybersecurity workforce from a recent conference or event into a Note for publication in an upcoming Special Issue of the Journal. The focus is helping participants consider how to identify the human factors involved in the technology, tools or operational challenges from their presentation. Participants will also learn how to map their presentation into the structured abstract format used by the Journal, starting with the problem, research question(s), and the contribution that are part of the initial submission to the Journal.

This workshop is intended for community college faculty interested in becoming cybersecurity faculty or faculty wishing to expand their knowledge, earn an industry certification, and strengthen their ability to incorporate new cybersecurity content in their community college curriculum.

Preparing students to successfully enter the information technology and cybersecurity workforce requires that we employ Microsoft's 21st Century Learning Design (CLD) into instructional strategies and practices. This workshop will introduce the following 21st century dimensions/skills and how to use them to enhance student success: collaboration, skilled communication, knowledge construction, self-regulation, real-world problem solving and innovation, and information and communications technology (ICT) for learning. It will also explore how to use them to enhance teaching practices and innovation in the classroom and support student's development of these important skills.

The workshop will be delivered virtually through Zoom and Canvas. Participants will be asked to complete Microsoft learn modules and will complete the review questions and quizzes after each module. Content covered during this course will prepare you for the Microsoft Certified Educator (MCE) certification exam.

Join NCyTE for an informative panel discussion on cybersecurity apprenticeships at the May NCyTE Membership Meeting. Cybersecurity apprenticeships are a highly effective approach to preparing students for employment, as they offer a combination of classroom instruction and real-world work experience. This creates a valuable pathway to building a strong workforce pipeline for both higher education institutions and employers.

This panel of experts from the Coastline Community College, the US Department of Labor, and CompTIA will share their experiences and offer recommendations for improving or starting an apprenticeship program. This is an excellent opportunity for faculty, administrators, and employers who are interested in developing a strong workforce and preparing students for success in the cybersecurity field. 

This event was organized by the ATE National Cybersecurity Training & Education (NCyTE) Center.
