The Women in Cyber Academy has partnered with Immersive Labs to encourage more women to consider careers in cybersecurity.
The Women in Cyber Academy is hoping to encourage more women to enter into cybersecurity and provide them with support through their collaboration with Immersive Labs. TechTalent Academy’s ‘Women In Cyber Academy partnership has been set up with the intention to support more women into the sector.
Women In Cyber Academy now invites applications for the April intake of their full-time Academy and also their part-time Academy which has an intake each month. The part-time academy can be undertaken alongside a full-time job.
Founder of TechTalent Academy Janice Rae said: “We are incredibly grateful to Immersive Labs for their ongoing support and commitment to supporting diversity. The sector as a whole is struggling to fill the number of open roles whilst trying to become an employer of diverse talent.”
“We believe passionately in the power of diversity to improve organisations and individual lives. So we’re creating a new talent pipeline that helps businesses build diverse tech teams – and individuals with diverse backgrounds build rewarding careers in Cyber Security.”
The Academy programme aims to prepare talent for their first role within Cyber, it’s a unique offer for motivated women and non-binary folks wanting to embark on a career in Cyber, to develop relevant tech skills as well as fast track their career. TechTalent Academy crafted the course content based on real-world skill requirements, considering skill-gaps, to ensure that students’ skills set them up for a long-term career in cyber, ready to go straight into employment.
