Panel on Training a Resilient Workforce in Support of Critical Infrastructure
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is partnering with the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for a webinar on Training a Resilient Workforce in Support of Critical Infrastructure.
CIRI, a DHS Center of Excellence managed by the Office of University Programs and led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, is teaming up with CISA as part of Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month to present a panel of experts from government, industry, and academia to discuss our nation’s workforce challenges. The discussion will highlight the efforts underway at CISA, CIRI, and our public-private partners to address those challenges and to keep our nation’s critical infrastructure, and thus our homeland, more secure and resilient—both now and in the future.
Join us at 12:00 p.m. CST on November 16, 2021, and learn more about what is being done to address the growing need for a highly-skilled workforce to protect critical infrastructure from disruption. Please use this link to join the webinar.
