Apprenticeships in Cybersecurity Community of Interest
Focus
This Community of Interest is a forum for anyone who is interested in sharing and learning how apprenticeships work in cybersecurity-related occupations and the role of various stakeholders (government, employers, intermediaries, educational partners, and others) to build and sustain a cybersecurity apprenticeship workplace experience and corresponding learning program. View the previous Apprenticeship Subgroup Charter here. The Apprenticeships in Cybersecurity Community of Interest charter will be developed soon.
To join this group, email to nicewg.app+subscribe@list.nist.gov. This group meets the fourth Friday of every month at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. View mailing list etiquette here.
Members of the previous Apprenticeship Subgroup do not need to take any action to join this Community of Interest. There will be an automatic transition. If you would like to be removed from the Community of Interest, please let us know.
