NICE Webinar: Developing Cybersecurity Talent Through Alternative Routes

There are multiple learning pathways and credentials that lead to a career in cybersecurity. During Cybersecurity Career Week (October 14-19, 2024), NICE will shine a light on STARs – workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes rather than a bachelor’s degree – many of whom have the skills and experience needed to help employers fill open cyber roles. Making up over half of the labor market, STARs have built their skills in a variety of different modalities including military services, training programs, community colleges, and on-the-job.

This webinar will highlight information on the demographics and skills of STARs across the country, feature STARs who are being successful as part of the growing cybersecurity workforce, and spotlight employers who have shifted the mindset of talent development towards skills-based hiring approaches that will lead to a more skilled and diverse workforce.
