Cognitive Diversity

 

Diversity is the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs.  


Inclusion is involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth and dignity of all people are recognized. An inclusive cybersecurity workforce readiness program sustains a sense of belonging; it values and practices respect for the talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living of its members.

Discover STEM-CTE

National Conference Series

Discover  STEM-CTE District Roadshow"

Fueled by our nation's focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and U.S. competitiveness, CEBOT's STEM based Career and Technical Education (CTE) is emerging as a research based, technology-enabled platform for sponsored education to industry collaboration and exploration and talent pipeline for the minority tech industry.

CEBOT's Discover  "STEM-CTE District Roadshow Events" provides career options to individual members in communities currently disenfranchised to the growing U.S. economy. 


Minority secondary and post-secondary students need to complete their education and find meaningful careers.  Industry and government are both needing highly skilled workers for opportunities now unfilled.   It is necessary for us to forge new and active partnerships to bridge this gap. 


The Discover STEM-CTE National Conference Series brings together Tech company employers (including our fast growing minority technology owners and corporate diversity and HR executives),  industry subject matter experts, university faculty and government leaders with students, parents, teachers and school administrators all working to imagine a better future.

National Conference Series


Our belief is industry works best in concert with government and inclusion is the only escape from the economic crisis found in the heart of our most urban centers across the US.

We are expecting stakeholder involvement and will facilitate inter-agency, inter-state participation to bring greater cost-effectiveness, economies of scale, access to external resources and greater political influence through strength in numbers.


The Council Exchange Board of Trade will coordinate activities with multiple stakeholders across the country to ensure students have a chance to learn about 21st Century high-growth, high-demand job opportunities.

Partnership Development  

Our recommendation for public/private cooperative agreements to carry out this important work is based on the many federal, state, and local mandates to better educate our nation's populace on the importance of career exploration in STEM and CTE careers.

CEBOT Community Program Highlights

SMARTSEC APPRENTICESHIPS

All SMARTSEC apprenticeship programs include a
key classroom or related training and instructional
component to help students develop skills and earn
a certified credential that is recognized industry-wide.


The educational component meets business
needs and prepares the apprentice for a successful
career. Program targets high school and post-secondary
students with a focus on Universities that are serving minority students who are located across the united states.

Join the discussion around the future of education and learning in the 21st century.  STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and CTE (Career and Technical Education) converge with the ICT (Information, Communications & Technology) workforce.  Optimizing partnerships and collaboration requires strategic engagements and research. 

The National Minority Technology Council has developed a 10 year Design Based Research program (AIEFrame.org) to capture stakeholder input to assist in education program design and implementation.  Participants will be able to provide insight according to their subject matter expertise.

Cyber- Supply Chain Workforce Readiness

Filling the Workforce Shortage of
Qualified Cybersecurity and Blockchain Professionals

Cybersecurity is emerging as an identifiable discipline, a meta-profession, that encompasses many sub-fields that form the modern computing ecosystem.

NATIONAL CYBER WORKFORCE AND EDUCATION STRATEGY Unleashing America’s Cyber Talent JULY 31, 2023

  As an industry CEBOT is working to inform both government and academia on policy, workforce and curricular frameworks and application areas like procurement and research.

The Council Exchange Board of Trade (CEBOT) has partnered with our stakeholder members to meet the workforce demand across the spectrum of application areas.  CEBOT is conducting research to define new curriculum concentrations based on the specific demands identified by our member employers.

Minority Cyber Inclusion Council

As an industry we represent thousands of business owners who are both practitioners and hiring managers for cyber security.    Cybersecurity is not a profession that one professional body can encompass and our role as a professional association is to provide leadership, ethics and good practices as an independent body.

As a governing body CEBOT's organizational focus is on building a supply of professional cybersecurity practitioners that adhere to a standard of professional competence, continuous learning and ethics.   We believe in an informed public and take extra care to reach out to those who are disenfranchised in order to ensure the cybersecurity profession is inclusive.
