This session will highlight the NCAE-C Cybersecurity Credit Transfer Agreement (CTA) Task, funded as part of the NCAE-C Careers Preparation National Center, to address the challenges in meeting the future cybersecurity workforce development. An overarching goal is to establish a database of credit transfer agreements among NCAE-C designated CAE cybersecurity programs and K12 schools. To achieve this goal, the CTA taskforce will compile the set of the K12 cybersecurity credit transfer agreements between secondary education schools and the NCAE-C designated higher education institutions, and facilitate the development of the cybersecurity credit transfer agreements between NCAE-C designated higher education institutions and secondary education schools. The CTA taskforce, jointly led by Purdue University Northwest and Forsyth Tech Community College, and partnered with Dakota State University, has launched the CTA status data collection and CTA development promotion. The taskforce has investigated the challenges and opportunities of K12 cybersecurity credit transfer mechanisms, examined the advantages and limitations of various CTAs, developed approaches and mechanisms to collect CTA status data and promote CTA development. Experiences and lessons learned will be shared through CTA development cases at Purdue University Northwest and Dakota State University. A call for action will be promoted to the CAE community for CTA survey distribution and response, and CTA development.
