Church Hosted Community Lead STEM Learning Echo-systems

Greetings!

Communities of faith were the anchor institutions in neighborhoods since the beginning. However, their significant role appears to have been overlooked in recent years. This is quite unfortunate because these communities are rich in resources and social capital. Churches have assets often referred to as non-performing assets, i.e., property, venue space, and professional expertise. We may need to reimagine how to partner with these institutions to create lasting social impact. The workforce is experiencing rapid changes driven by emerging technologies. There is a demand for specific skills in STEM, and not necessarily a college degree. These skills can be learned by youth and parents in the places they trust most.

Pastor Keith Davis, Co-chair of the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Working Group to Promote Career Discovery in multiple pathways to high-paying cybersecurity jobs.

Cybersecurity skills are crucial in today's workforce; join our monthly NIST NICE conversation. The NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework is the foundation for increasing the size and capability of the U.S. cybersecurity workforce. It provides a standard definition of cybersecurity, a comprehensive list of cybersecurity tasks, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform those tasks.

The core functions are identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover; aid organizations in their effort to spot, manage, and counter cybersecurity events promptly. The NIST control framework will help empower continuous compliance and support communication between technical and business-side stakeholders.
