In this week's episode, Nina and Chris sit down with Dr. Keith Clement, Professor at Fresno State University and chair of the Workforce Development/Education Subcommittee of the California Cybersecurity Task Force (co-led by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and California Department of Technology). As author of The California Cybersecurity Workforce Development and Education Strategy (2020-2030): Framework and Recommendations for a California Cybersecurity Career Education Pipeline and Pathway Project (C3EP3) Report, Keith brings a wealth of research and insight regarding the state of cybersecurity workforce development and education. We discuss some of the greatest challenges facing cybersecurity workforce development, preparation, talent acquisition, and the value of employee retention strategies. These are important questions relating to national and economic security concerns of closing our ever growing cybersecurity workforce capability and job gap. Important note: since podcast episode taping, the national cybersecurity workforce gap has swelled from 715,000+ available cyber jobs 9.3% to 769,000+ total available current cyber positions (CyberSeek, 2022). This is further evidence of the value of  enhancing and supporting national and state IT-Cybersecurity workforce development, talent acquisition, and retention through the careful analysis and introspection of current best practices, policies, and procedures.
