Re: Where are they?
@Joe, Do you think the best course of action would be to create a 2-year degree with more "hands on" coursework like a vocational degree? Or do you more think that there should just be more training in house for employees with other backgrounds? Maybe the latter now and the former later?

Re: Where are they?
Another challenge with cybersecurity is that those who have the skills, may not have experience that is verifiable in a way that one might feel comfortable putting on a resume. And those with skills that have been "government certified" (so to speak) have a hard time getting through most company's recruiting/background checks.

Re: Where are they?
@ms.akkineni, well stateded!  I also believe Mike's points is an excellent one that the lack of exposing and educating students to the new careers that are evolving is a very valid concern. 

I also believe that telecommunications has not "upgraded" their image to the dynamic opportunities that now exist for carriers and the exciting future it can offer.  It is a natural for those who are aware!

Re: Where are they?
@Joe, absolutely!  Companies need to begin to view the human capital as an "investment" not a cost!  They cannot rely solely on the generalized public training to produce the corporate skills they are seeking.  AT&T is a great example of stronger commitment - and I believe they will have the workforce they need to stay competitive.

@Joe. S:

Completely in agreemnet with you.

I believe there has to be much emphasis on cyber security areas as part of high school / college course work. With all that is going on with Cloud, IOT and smart technologies security will be one key thing that needs more knowledge and skilled folks around the globe.

Re: Employees
@freehe:

Can't agree more. Training has to be an ongoing thing in companies - be it about new products, new tools, policies etc. It may feel like an overhead at first but will surely yield into good results if you think about how it helps reatain the work force.

@mpouraryan I'm pretty sure that's called artificial intelligence.

Re: Learning skills in a short period of time
..and one "final" food 4 thought 4 the month for all:

Imagine a computer that can emulate the human brain, in all its complex thoughts and processes. What might it want? Social scientist Robin Hanson plays out a future scenario starring the "ems" -- emulated brains that can think, feel and work like the human brains they're copied from. Enjoy this rapid-fire, mind-blowing glimpse at a hypothetical future. Watch »

Re: Learning skills in a short period of time
@Joe Stanganelli You are right. It's probably the most underrated part about the future of technology. It's not being talked enough about in schools.
