Cybersecurity Career Awareness Week, brought to us by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity (NICE), is a week-long campaign that provides an opportunity to learn about the contributions and innovations of cybersecurity practitioners, and the plethora of job opportunities that can be found when exploring cybersecurity as a career choice.
During this week, learners of all ages, educators, parents, employers, and the community participate in the recognition of how cybersecurity plays a vital role in global society; showcasing how building a nation’s cybersecurity workforce enhances each nation’s security and promotes economic prosperity.
During this week educators, parents, students, employers, government partners, and the community are exposed to cybersecurity workforce opportunities, the variety of cybersecurity careers, and existing and emerging educational pathways.
Cybersecurity careers are a growing segment of the nation’s workforce needs and a great opportunity for students choosing their future career and adults looking for a new path. Currently there are over 450,000 jobs open nation-wide in cybersecurity and the global cybersecurity workforce is expected to experience a shortage of 1.8 million cybersecurity professionals by 2022.
There are multiple career options and numerous pathways to enter the cybersecurity career field. You don't need to be an experienced white-hat hacker to work in cybersecurity. Sales, design, and management experience are all applicable skills that not many other people in the field have. It is never too late to start a career in cybersecurity and demand for positions like these has never been higher
We urge you to go to the website for Cybersecurity Career Awareness Week to learn more and see how you can get involved.
