INSF Position Paper: Future of the IC Workforce
(Arlington, VA)—December 12, 2022—Today, the Intelligence and National Security Foundation (INSF), the charitable arm of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, released a new white paper, The 2022 Future of the IC Workforce. Underwritten by Avantus Federal, the paper reflects key findings from INSF's three-part webinar series focused on Open Source, Trust in the IC, and Mission Integration.
Through this year long effort, INSF, brought together private and public sector leaders to discuss and analyze key factors affecting the current IC workforce now and in the near future. Findings include:
- OSINT needs to be the intelligence community's "INT" of first resort
- Strong public-private partnership are essential for the U.S. to maintain its edge
- Developing a diverse and data-savvy workforce capable of using advanced technology
- Appropriately balancing transparency and disclosure to increase public trust in the IC
Now in its second year, The Future of the IC Workforce, produced by INSF, ClearanceJobs.com, and underwritten by Avantus Federal, seeks to build awareness of key issues facing the intelligence community workforce. In 2020, the series focused on lessons learned from the pandemic.
