Cyber-Security Forum Cites Future Workforce Needs
Daniel Sernovitz of the Baltimore Business Journal reports that, at a cyber-security workforce development forum held in Laurel, Maryland on 8 February 2011, government and industry representatives noted that 1,800 new hires would be made before the end of this year. However, concerns exist as to the availability of sufficient numbers of future workers versed in appropriate math, science, and technology skills who can also obtain security clearances necessary to fill jobs vacated by retiring Baby Boomers. Steps taken locally to prepare future workers included a financial literacy program, as well as a security clearance overview. http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/blog/2011/02/government-private-industry-convenes.html
