  5. Communications-Electronics CommandSoftware Engineering Center • Maintain Software Readiness • Fix Security Vulnerabilities • Update software so systems are not susceptible to being hacked • Resolve anomalies that prevent mission accomplishment • Example: Fix a software bug that prevents your computer from working • Maintain interoperability with other changing or new systems • Example: Update software on your PC to add a new printer that is not recognized • Currently support 83 major C4ISR and 6 Logistics systems deployed throughout the world with an additional 30 systems becoming SEC’s responsibility over the next five years

  6. Representative C4ISR & Logistics Systems

  7. Projected Opportunities • Organizational Size • ~700 civilian + 3300 contractors • Hiring Status • Currently constrained • Two week pilot summer 2014 internship for high school juniors • Reinstitute summer positions for College Sophomores starting 2016 • Project significant opportunities in 2017 and beyond due to impending retirements SEC Civilian Workforce eligible to retire within the next 5 years

  8. Education & Skills • Computer Science (Bachelors Degree) • Software/Systems Architecture • Cybersecurity • SAP • IT Specialists (Associate’s Degree) • Programmers • Lab Managers • Ability to obtain government clearance • Certifications
