This poster will focus on the NCAE-C Cybersecurity Credit Transfer Agreement (CTA) Task, which is part of the NCAE-C Careers Preparation National Center. The task aims to address the challenge of meeting the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals by establishing a database of credit transfer agreements among NCAE-C designated CAE cybersecurity programs and K-12 schools. To achieve this goal, the CTA taskforce will compile a set of K12 cybersecurity credit transfer agreements between secondary education schools and NCAE-C designated higher education institutions and facilitate the development of new cybersecurity credit transfer agreements between CAE institutions and K-12 schools. The CTA taskforce, jointly led by Purdue University Northwest, Forsyth Tech Community College, and partnered with Dakota State University, has launched the CTA status data collection and development promotion initiative. The poster designed for the project will feature essential details, such as the major tasks of CTA, benefits for CAE programs, and the background information of CTA, along with the call for participation. Additionally, QR codes on the poster will provide direct links to the 10-minute CTA status survey and the new CTA development application form. The poster will also outline the necessary requirements for CTA submission—which include PDF cybersecurity course articulation agreements/URLs between 2-year and 4-year CAE schools, K12 cybersecurity course transfer agreements, and contact information. The poster session will aid us in fulfilling our call for action by promoting the task to the CAE community for CTA survey distribution and response, as well as new CTA development. This initiative is expected to make a significant contribution to the field of cybersecurity education and workforce development.
