The Certificate of Achievement in Cybersecurity follows the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework with the common goal of developing critical knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform cybersecurity tasks. The curriculum includes hand-on experience in virtual environments that simulate real-world scenarios in the domains of security provisions, operations and maintenance, governance, protection and defense, analysis, collection, and investigation. This pathway includes preparation for industry-recognized certifications geared towards preparing students for a successful career in cybersecurity workforce roles that have an impact on an organization’s ability to protect its data, systems, and operations.
Based on 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 enrollment data, the estimated enrollment completer projection of students to earn the associate degree annually is 30 students.

City College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. There is a supply gap (39 annual job openings), entry-level wages are $37.16, and total employment for the occupation increased from 412 to 998 jobs in the region over the past 10 years. Based on available LMI, the COE report supports the program modification.
