The use of NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NCWF) is critically important to ensure consistency across cybersecurity jobs in government, industry, and academia. Nova Southeastern University (NSU) has been a leader in cybersecurity education for many years and was among the first in the state of Florida to receive CAE designation. NSU received the initial CAE designation in March 2005 and received CAE re-designation in 2009 and 2014. Over the past several months the faculty and staff of College of Computing and Engineering (CCE) at NSU has been working with the NSU Career Development Office (CDO) staff (https://www.nova.edu/career/) on the integration of the NCWF into the student advising process. The CAE 2020 Fastpitch presentation provides an overview of the collaboration model between the CCE and CDO at NSU that includes exposure of the framework to the career advisors, the relevant job roles for the NSA/DHS designated cybersecurity programs offered by the CCE, the creation of a Career Development Newsletter specifically for computer science and engineering students, as well as the development of sample student resumes specifically aligned with the NSA/DHS designated NSU cybersecurity programs.
