IT Workforce Capability Assessment

Definition
The IT Workforce Capability Assessment

"is an effort by the CIO Council to gather data on the training needs of the federal IT workforce, including those who work in cybersecurity. The assessment, which stems in part from a requirement in the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 that agencies assess the training needs of their IT staff, was originally intended to be an annual effort and was first conducted in 2003. However, according to officials responsible for the effort, because of budget limitations, it was not conducted again until 2006 and then again in 2011."
