According to a report released by Intel Security, “Hacking the Skills Shortage”, there will be 1 million to 2 million unfilled cyber-security jobs worldwide by 2019. In the same line, on September 2017 the European Commission adopted a cybersecurity package. The package builds upon existing instruments and presents new initiatives to further improve EU cyber resilience and response. Our project lies within different initiatives carried out to build a cybersecurity capacity in Europe and feeds from the momentum cybersecurity is having in the European agenda, addressing these needs: - Lack of skills related to security operations among workers in general - Lack of qualified profiles in cybersecurity and as consequence a gap between qualifications and job demands - Increased risks related with a more digitalised world (financial operations, internet of things, connected industry, data storage, social networks and personal information) - Low awareness and knowledge about digital risks and how to protect oneself and one´s organisation - Low capacity of response in front of cyber-attacks, at all levels (personal and professional) With this project we achieved the following aims: - Increase the level of awareness of digital perils and the importance of adopting preventing measures among VET students and teachers - Define a set of units of competence and learning outcomes associated to different professional profiles. - Increase the level of qualification related to cybersecurity among VET students and teachers. - Reinforce cooperation between VET and business/technical experts to ensure an adequate training and qualification of workers in terms of information security.- Update the VET curriculums of the VET schools partners in the project as well as those who attended different dissemination events including training in digital skills necessary for workers. In order to achieve the mentioned aims, the project produced 2 intellectual outputs: - O1. Joint VET curriculum in cybersecurity, defining the corresponding learning outcomes related to main competences in cybersecurity, following ECVET methodology and designed following a classification of professional profiles attending to their technical (or not technical) training and their level of need on information security skills. - O2. Cybersecurity challenges, materials, developed attending to the professional profile addressed in each case, to achieve the learning outcomes defined in the previous output. This way, the potential users have available a set of materials to train and acquire the units of competence identified in the joint curriculum in cybersecurity in VET. During the project, 12 VET teachers were directly involved in the development of intellectual outputs. 48 more participated in pilot activities and around 30 more participated in local workshops to learn how to use and adapt the intellectual outputs for their lessons. Around 900 students benefitted from the updated and upscaled competences in cybersecurity of their teachers and the introduction in their VET programmes of new curricular components and materials in this field and 879 students participated in the pilot of materials. 9 associated partners, technological experts in different aspects related to cybersecurity participated also in the project by advising and assessing the production of intellectual outputs.. We can sum up CyVETsecurity results and long term benefits as follows: - Upgrade of competences of VET teachers and VET students related to cybersecurity.- Update of VET curricula with digital skills related to information security and protection, necessary for any profession in different levels. - Better alignment of VET programmes to the needs of the labour market and society in a digital era. - Definition of new ways of cooperation between VET colleges and technological experts towards a VET provision more adjusted to reality. - Higher relevance, attractiveness and prestige of VET, perceived by companies and enhancement of the role of VET teachers.
