Want to influence the next generation of cyber security experts?
If you’re a career advisor or teacher, why not get involved with our Influencing the Influencer project?
We want to support young girls and women to get into the cyber security industry, for this, we’ll need your help. The project includes developing a useful signposting portal with case studies, study route information and employer details in our region.
It will also see us run a series of online and in person events in March to help give careers advisors and teachers a thorough understanding of the jobs available in cyber security.
If you’ve taken part in CyberFirst or Empower, you’ll know just how important it is to help give our influencers of young people the information they need to help them make the move into cyber careers.
Whether it’s sharing your story on our portal, creating a video of your career journey or giving a talk at one of our events, we’d love your help with this project.
