10. Massachusetts Governor William Douglas appointed a Commission on
Industrial and Technical Education that later became known as the
Douglas Commission. The Commission reported:
1. There was a widespread interest in the subject of industrial education.
2. The lack of skilled workmen was not chiefly a want of manual dexterity
but a want of what what may be called industrial intelligence.
3. There was a growing feeling of inadequacy of the existing public school
system to fully meet the needs of modern industrial and social conditions.
The schools were too exclusively literary in their spirit, scope, and
methods.
4. To the question of who should bear the expense of technical education,
the common answer was the state.

69. The role of workforce, education, and
economic development collaboration in
U.S. competitiveness is to enable
innovation.
Similar to space in 1957, cyberspace is
now the the platform and engine of
education, workforce, and economic
innovation, while simultaneously
representing an emerging domain of
warfare, terrorism, and crime.
The integration of computers, networks,
software, and machines (cyber physical
systems) has given birth to a new
generation of work, education, and
economic development.

(OECD) million people in the US
employed in NIT.
Computer and mathematical occupations
are projected to add 785,700 new jobs from
2008 to 2018.
As a group, these jobs are forecast to grow
more than twice as fast as the average for
all occupations in the economy.

n 2008,the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative listed “expanded
cyber education” as one of its key recommendations. In 2009, the Partnership
for Public Service produced a report stating that the current pipeline of cyber-
security workers into the government was inadequate.1
In the same year,Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates stated that the military was “desperately short of people who
have the capabilities [to operate in cyberspace].”2
And in 2011, the Inspector Gen-
eral of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that 35 percent of the special
agents investigating national security cyber-intrusion cases lacked necessary training
and technical skills.3
Nonetheless, the U.S. Government and private sector still seek

Key Points
There is widespread agreement in
the public and private sectors that
U.S. educational institutions are un-
able to meet the growing demand
for cyber workforce professionals.
It is difficult to measure the true
size and requirements for the cyber
workforce due to the lack of com-
monly agreed upon cyber workforce
job titles and duty descriptions.
