As an energy organization, Siemens Energy has identified a need to grow the pool of workers who can understand both the physical and cyber aspects of operational technologies. With fewer than 10 colleges in the United States offering cybersecurity classes focused on operational technologies in 2020, Siemens Energy partnered with ICS Village, the Regional Economic Development for for Eastern Idaho (REDI), MISI Academy, Capitol Technology University, SANS Technology Institute and Idaho State University (ISU) to design and implement the Industrial Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program (CIISAp). CIISAp is an academically rigorous programme that places apprentices in real-world job rotations designed to immediately apply their skills as they learn. It enables people with moderate computer skills to gain the hands-on experience and knowledge needed to competently fill cybersecurity vacancies that currently pay above $90,000 per year.
