Understanding Readiness

What is Readiness?

Intuitively readiness is a simple concept that applies to individuals and groups in many settings. Only detectable in retrospect, performing well is evidence of having been ready. Judging the degree of readiness requires agreement on what constitutes adequate (or excellent) performance.

Readiness is the responsibility of the person individually who and group collectively that faces the future. To get ready consumes time, thought, and resources. Academically average high school seniors from powerful families growing up affluent and privileged are more likely to be ready for college than stoic students struggling to catch-up from disenfranchised families and communities burdened with poverty.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACADEMIA SERVING BLACKS & MINORITIES:

Fostering Risk Management and Cybersecurity Training Programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions

African-Americans make up only three percent of the information security analysts in the U.S in a field where jobs are expected to grow 18 percent through 2024.

As with any business or organization, colleges and universities face significant risk to operations when financial losses occur. Because Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) often have limited resources, the impact of unforeseen problems -- declining enrollment, rising operational costs, financial deficits, changes to state or federal funding -- can be crippling.
