Training People with Disabilities for Cybersecurity Jobs in Bosnia and Herzegovina: This program would afford individuals with disabilities the opportunity to receive training that would result in a meaningful career with vast potential and a demonstrable shortage of skilled individuals. Drawing on best practices for individualized learning styles, reasonable accommodation approaches, and technology solutions, this program should follow a-train-to-place model for public and private sector employers in BiH. This is an opportunity to invest in an untapped talent pipeline, developing the country's workforce, and investing in future success, while shattering notions that people with disabilities cannot compete for fast paced technology jobs and careers. The project addresses a clear need in the public and private sector for cybersecurity professionals and provides people with disabilities improved social inclusion opportunities through employment.

- Category Explanation
- -Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is crucial in today's digital world due to the increasing reliance on technology, the proliferation of digital threats from malign actors, and the potential for significant financial, reputational, and operational damage resulting from cyberattacks. It is a constantly evolving field that requires ongoing efforts to stay ahead of new and emerging threats. -Workforce Development: The shortage of 3.5 million cybersecurity professionals worldwide has a significant impact in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the cybersecurity environment is underdeveloped, and talent pipelines need to be strengthened. Addressing this is essential both for the country’s security and to develop a steady pipeline of qualified candidates to meet employers’ needs. This is a key component of economic growth and development in BiH. -Social Inclusion: People with disabilities in BiH face numerous barriers to educational opportunities, workforce participation, and social inclusion. By providing people with disabilities an opportunity for access to training and certification, we can help integrate them into the 21st century workforce while supporting the broader inclusion of a traditionally marginalized population into society. -Reconciliation: Participation in the program will foster a network of cybersecurity professionals in many parts of the country, supporting reconciliation while improving BiH’s cyber resiliency.
