CyberNorth is pleased to be partnering with Northumbria University and Cystel to deliver Empowering Girls Through Ethical Hacking; a hands-on programme designed to inspire young people to explore cyber security and ethical hacking, one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most in-demand career areas.
What is the programme?
A practical, engaging introduction to cyber skills, led by student mentors and experienced cyber professionals. No prior technical experience is required — just curiosity and enthusiasm.
Students will explore real-world cyber topics including:
- Phishing & social engineering
- Penetration testing & vulnerability detection
- Secure coding practices
- OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence)
- Incident response
- Wi-Fi & network security
📅 Upcoming cohorts
- Cohort 2: 14 & 28 February
- Cohort 3: 14 & 28 March
Places are limited, and we’re keen to ensure as many students as possible can benefit.
If you’d like to reserve places, share this opportunity, or find out more, please get in touch with helen@cybernorth.biz.
Let’s help close the gender gap in cyber security.
