Summary A well-trained cybersecurity workforce is essential for government functioning. To bolster that workforce, NIST has developed the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE). This program's mission is to foster more education and training through collaborative partnerships with private industry, academia, and government agencies. This report examines (1) the actions NIST has taken through the NICE program to strengthen the cybersecurity workforce and (2) the extent to which NIST established a process to assess the program's performance. GAO is making eight recommendations to NIST to fully develop goals and performance measures, assess the program's environment and identify strategies, track reliable information and report to stakeholders on results, and use data to assess progress and identify improvement opportunities.
