and Sinclair to create a world class workforce certification pathway to expand the nation’s lead in UAS technology and build a talent pipeline for companies, universities, or the government to hire new personnel or upskill their existing workforce.
“The demand for cybersecurity is tremendous but the supply of talent is lacking,” said Jeff Angle, Chief Marketing and Enrollment Officer at Mission Critical Institute for Cybersecurity. “There are over 4 million open positions in cybersecurity today with another 3.5 million positions forecasted to be added in 2021. As a country, it is becoming more challenging keep up with demand, so collaborations like our partnership with Sinclair related to UAS cybersecurity are key.”
“UAS design and operations are technology intensive,” added Dr. Andrew Shepherd, Sinclair’s Executive Director and Chief Scientist for UAS. “Cybersecurity impacts all facets of the UAS industry ranging from design, to supply chain, and of course operations. This workforce training certification program offered with Mission Critical Institutes will produce cybersecurity risk management professionals with the knowledge of UAS threats and mitigations needed to protect and defend their IT and data infrastructure.”
The program is available for enrollment from prospective organizations and professionals with Jan. 4, 2021 as the next available online cohort start date. However, space is limited so those interested are encouraged to register early. More information is available at https://uas-cyber.sinclair.edu/.

That category includes projects of up to $1 million, officials said.
The 15-acre park at 5900 Hithergreen Drive stems from a cooperative venture between Washington Twp. and the Centerville-Washington Park District.
The two entities created a plan and in 2018 secured a $558,000 Clean Ohio Fund Green Space Conservation Program grant, according to the park district.
Those funds covered 75% of the land purchase, demolition of the former Hithergreen Center building and land restoration, officials said.
