The purpose of this session is to share best practices for educators to utilize cyber competitions with their students to build technical skills and demonstrate job-readiness to employers. While demand for cybersecurity talent is only increasing, students may still encounter difficulty in obtaining entry-level jobs. Many cybersecurity roles require multiple years of experience, which has led to employers being inundated with candidates for true entry-level jobs. This daunting challenge of evaluating candidates results in recruiters and hiring managers spending limited time considering each candidate, making it vital for students to provide evidence of their capabilities that are easily understood by talent acquisition teams. During this presentation, we will be discussing how the design of cyber competitions can be tailored to allow students to apply concepts they have gained from academic learning to real-world problems to reinforce their learning and demonstrate capabilities to employers. The impact of these experiences are captured in performance reports that are mapped to the NICE Framework and the NICE work roles to help students identify possible career paths and provide evidence of job-readiness to hiring managers. We will provide a demo of the cyber competition platform and will walk through the reporting that is provided to students and share examples of how students have been utilizing these reports to help them during the job application process.
