Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Ohio's CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Grant
The Ohio CyberCorps Scholarship for Service grant aims to increase the number of qualified and diverse cybersecurity candidates for government cybersecurity positions and improve the national capacity for the education of cybersecurity professionals and research and development workforce. To achieve these goals, the grant prioritizes specific outcomes that align with the state's unique needs and strengths.
Key Outcomes for Ohio's Cybersecurity Workforce Development
Ohio's cybersecurity workforce development is a critical focus area for the grant. The state's universities and colleges, such as those participating in the Ohio Cyber Initiative, play a vital role in educating and training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. The grant prioritizes outcomes that enhance the state's capacity to produce a diverse and skilled cybersecurity workforce, including:
- Increasing the number of students pursuing cybersecurity-related fields at Ohio's institutions of higher education, particularly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions.
- Improving the quality and relevance of cybersecurity education and training programs in Ohio, aligning with the needs of government agencies and private sector organizations.
- Enhancing the diversity of Ohio's cybersecurity workforce by supporting programs that attract and retain underrepresented groups, including women and minorities.
The Ohio Department of Higher Education and the Ohio Cyber Reserve, a statewide cybersecurity program, are key state agencies and programs that will contribute to achieving these outcomes. Ohio's diverse economy, which includes major industries such as manufacturing, finance, and healthcare, also creates a unique demand for cybersecurity professionals with specialized skills.
Measuring Success in Ohio's CyberCorps Scholarship for Service Grant
To measure the success of the grant, Ohio will track key performance indicators, including the number of students awarded scholarships, the number of graduates entering government cybersecurity positions, and the diversity of the cybersecurity workforce. The state's frontier counties and rural areas, which often face challenges in accessing cybersecurity education and training, will be a focus area for grant-funded initiatives.
Ohio's grant-funded programs will also be designed to address the state's specific cybersecurity needs, such as protecting critical infrastructure and enhancing the security of state and local government systems. By achieving these priority outcomes, Ohio will not only improve its own cybersecurity workforce but also contribute to the national capacity for cybersecurity education and research.
