NICE Skills-Based Learning Community of Interest
Focus
The NICE Skills-Based Learning Community of Interest is a forum for cyber workforce stakeholders to network, engage in conversations, share information, and learn about skills-based learning and how it can help advance the cyber workforce by promoting learning pathways that build practical skills, validate competencies, and prepare learners for real-world careers. This community is open to the public: individuals from private sector companies and industry representatives, educators and training organizations, government agencies — including state, local, tribal, and territorial entities — non-profit and community-based organizations and other stakeholders. Discussions held by the community may inform NICE program projects and activities. View the NICE Skills-Based Learning Community of Interest charter.
