Information and cyber security skills and competencies...

Review SFIA support for people and skills management...
- Reviewing SFIA change requests and analysisng current industry-based skills and people management models
- Looking at modern practice in team management - including self-organizing teams and T-shaped roles
Employability - bridging the education to work gap...
- How SFIA supports apprenticeships, industry placement and competency-based curriculum design
- This is an area where an industry/workplace based competency model like SFIA has a vital role
Keeping up with the hype...
- Our industry thrives on the potential of emerging technologies - but hype does not easily equate to value
- The SFIA framework describes the long lasting professional skills needed by industry
- When we get requests to include new technologies in SFIA - we undertake analysis to identify the required professional skills
- Using this approach means we can help individuals and organisations to value and build on the skills they already have
- Often new technologies require the application of new knowledge with existing SFIA skills
