National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy: Unleashing America's cyber talent

This video transcript is about the National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy, which seeks to equip every American with cyber skills and drastically scale up the cyber security workforce in order to keep the country secure, increase economic prosperity, and ignite the next generation of American innovators. The strategy includes three imperatives: an ecosystem approach, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and leveraging cyber skills, and four pillars: education, workforce development, research and development, and public-private partnerships. It also includes guidance for agencies to increase internships and paid internships, and to move towards a skills-based system for hiring. The panelists discuss the need for innovation, incentivizing people to participate, and removing college education requirements for cyber security jobs. They also emphasize the importance of partnerships and collaboration to empower people through education and training. The panelists also discuss initiatives for young girls in Black and Brown communities to get involved in cyber security, the need for more teachers and professors to help support cyber security programs in universities and colleges, and the commitments made by various organizations to support the National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy. Finally, the video follows two friends, John and Sarah, on a road trip to a nearby beach.
