CyberForward Academy is launching Tech Proficiency Score (TPS)℠ (tpsreport.aii) as a key activation of the Innovation is Love ecosystem™, a national framework focused on transforming how the United States develops and uses technical talent. This launch aligns with the leadership of Mike Gentile, CEO of CyberForward Academy, CISOSHARE, TalentSplit and related Innovation is Love™ organizations, and his participation in the Impact 25 conference in Washington, D.C. as part of the CEO Leadership Alliance. Together these efforts express a shared commitment to aligning business, education, government and community around a common approach to talent and productivity.
Innovation is Love™ begins with a simple idea. Innovation is about people, how they grow, what they create for others and how they support their families and communities. The framework adapts the structure of the United States youth soccer development model, exchanging fields and drills for shared standards, consistent environments and clear proficiency paths for anyone building technical skills. Instead of isolated programs, Innovation is Love promotes a coordinated system that can be understood and used by learners, educators, employers and community partners.
The model is organized into four connected elements known as Proficiency Intelligence™, Proficiency Standards™, Proficiency Centers™ and Proficiency Stories™. Proficiency Intelligence provides a consistent, human-centered way to understand where someone is in their technical journey and where they can go next. It is powered by the Tech Proficiency Score, a CyberForward measure that complements grades, certifications and work history by focusing on capability, performance, and growth. Proficiency Standards align classrooms, workplaces, and service delivery. Proficiency Centers provide real operational environments for learning and delivery. Proficiency Stories share how people and organizations actually build and apply skills.
tpsreport.ai turns these concepts into an accessible digital experience. The platform makes the Tech Proficiency Score (TPS)℠ visible and actionable, helping individuals understand their capabilities and gaps while enabling organizations to align hiring, training and program design with Innovation is Love. Through CyberForward Academy, CISOSHARE, TalentSplit and the Innovation is Love ecosystem, Mike Gentile and his teams are working to unify fragmented efforts into a proficiency driven, talent first system that treats innovation as an expression of love for people, communities and the future.
