  • Sypris Electronics, LLC, a subsidiary of Sypris Solutions, Inc. partnered with Career Technical Education Foundation, Inc. (CTEF) and The MITRE Corporation to develop, establish, and host a cyber security curriculum for local and national high school students. The curriculum was co-developed by Sypris, MITRE, and CTEF, and it is under evaluation by (ISC)².
  • Students who successfully pass the program, along with a Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification exam, will become an Associate of (ISC)² toward the SSCP certification, an opportunity not currently available to any other high school students in the nation.
  • There is no other cyber security curriculum available for secondary education anywhere in the country, and we are the first to make it available,” said Paul Wahnish, president of CTEF

  • The federal cybersecurity workforce could grow to more than 61,000 employees by 2015, in part due to new demands, such as mobile computing, cloud services and social media, according to a new report. The federal government-specific results of the 2011 Global Information Security Workforce Study, conducted by (ISC)2 and Frost & Sullivan, indicate that federal information security professionals are being stretched too thin by their work to secure the increasing amount of critical information flowing through government networks. The new demands placed on cyber professionals as a result of the government's push for mobile devices, cloud computing and social media could result in a federal cyber workforce that is 61,299 strong by 2015, the report noted. The survey of 145 C-level federal executives also found that the most serious challenges facing federal IT departments are application vulnerabilities (73 percent), mobile devices (66 percent), viruses and worm attacks (64 percent), cyber terrorism (58 percent) and internal employees (58 percent).
  • Hord Tipton, executive director of (ISC)2, said
  • "We need new people, and we need younger people," he said. "The government needs defined career paths to help find the skills it needs, get them classified, evaluate what those jobs are worth and put good standards in place." The study also found that certification is far more important to the federal government than it is to other sectors. For example, 63 percent of CIOs and CISOs said security certifications were "very important," compared to 45 percent of worldwide survey respondents.

STEM Boy.Scouts robotics

  • The Boy Scouts of America, which offers more than 120 badges ranging from archery to wilderness survival, next week will unveil a robotics merit badge meant to promote science, technology, engineering and math, fields collectively known as STEM. In doing so, the 101-year-old Texas-based organization is trying to remain relevant and better reflect boys' interests, said Matt Myers, who oversees the Boy Scouts' STEM initiative.
  • Developing the robotics badge requirements took 14 months and involved help from more than 150 scouts, their leaders and industry professionals. Ken Berry, who led the effort, said the badge is a bit overdue given that hundreds of thousands of children and teens already are participating in robotics competitions around the country. "We're promoting stretching of the mind like athletics promotes stretching of the body," said Berry, assistant director of the Science and Engineering Education Center at the University of Texas at Dallas.
  • Officials expect at least 10,000 of the nation's 2.7 million Boy Scouts to earn the new badge in the next year, compared with the roughly 500,000 who earn the most popular badge — first aid — each year.

  • "One of the biggest problems we have for high school kids and Boy Scouts included, is that there aren't a lot of opportunities to tinker and experience what it's like to be an engineer, so when they get to the college level, students are often ill prepared to do an engineering degree," he said. NASA, which allowed its Mars rover to be depicted on the badge, also agreed to take 100 patches into space on the Endeavour shuttle mission. Those badges will be distributed through an online contest.

  • We felt a need to both identify and then test the set of competencies and skills required at the individual rep level”, stated Reeves. AA-ISP Founder and CEO, Bob Perkins goes on to note, “For years corporations have made significant investments in hiring, training, and on-boarding inside sales professionals. Yet there remains a need to, quantify, measure, and then test these skills to assure an individual was competent. We selected BrainX [www.BrainX.com] because their unique on-line learning system. If a salesperson doesn’t meet the required knowledge and skill level the BrainX on-line learning system builds a personal set of Sales Courses and simulations to help the salesperson master the required knowledge and skills so they can pass the accreditation requirements.
  • Bruce Lewolt the CEO of BrainX says he is proud that an organization that understands the world of sales training as well as the AA-ISP would recognize the value of personalized sales training that is mastery based
  • Lewolt agrees and added that it is only with this level of mastery that the conscious centers of the brain are freed up to really listen to what the customer is saying well enough to be able to read between the lines and figure out what it really driving the customer

  • The BrainX On-line Learning system is an intelligent system that uses a series of knowledge, skill and belief assessments and builds a cognitive learning profile on each learner. The BrainX Digital Tutor uses the first set of assessments to figure out just what each sales person should focus on and combines this with the personal cognitive profile to mold the delivery of the lesson content and simulations in a way that helps each individual master the required set of skills and competencies in the shortest amount of time so they can obtain their CISP®.
  • About BrainX BrainX is the next generation of online learning and Talent Management! BrainX is the first system to combine patented intelligent learning technology with mastery-based, learning strategies. BrainX participated in the landmark research on the neurobiology of effective sales training and used this research to design the BrainX system. The result is a system that accepts any type of content (e.g. product training, sales training, negotiation training) and stores the content in a way that allows the BrainX Digital Tutor to understand the content. The BrainX system figures out just what each person already knows along with what they need to learn. The system uses this information along with the understanding of the lesson content to build personalized lessons that teach each person just what they need: to know; to be able to do; and to believe about why something needs to be done in the correct way. With BrainX the days of one size fits all sales training courses are gone forever. The BrainX system also builds a cognitive learning profile on each learner and uses this information to customize the way lessons are taught and to determine how much post lesson reinforcement each sales person needs. This approach is so effective that when compared to traditional online learning, BrainX users achieve mastery in 50% less time. www.BrainX.com

    Brain-X appears to be a system worth investigating as we develop tools to support assessment-based development.
