The NICE Interagency Coordinating Council (ICC) convenes federal government partners for consultation, communication, and coordination of programs, projects, and initiatives that are focused on cybersecurity education, training, and workforce development to grow and sustain the Nation’s cybersecurity workforce. The meetings will provide an opportunity for the NICE Program Office, located at NIST, to communicate strategic priorities and program updates with key partners in the federal government and to learn about other federal government activities in support of the broader NICE community that includes academia, industry, and Federal, State, and Local governments and Tribal Territories.
