National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy: Unleashing America’s Cyber Talent

This strategy, published by the Office of the National Cyber Director, Executive Office of the President, in July 2023, is grounded in the U.S. President’s National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCS) from March 2023. It outlines a plan to strengthen the nation’s cyber workforce, connect individuals to well-paying, quality jobs, and enhance society’s welfare, prosperity, and security.

The strategy promotes a skills-based approach to cyber education, focusing on developing robust career pathways through collaboration among employers, educators, government, and other stakeholders.

The strategy is structured into four pillars: (1) Equip Every American with Foundational Cyber Skills, (2) Transform Cyber Education, (3) Expand and Enhance America’s Cyber Workforce, and (4) Strengthen the Federal Cyber Workforce.
