Friday 7 October, 11am-12.15pm (BST)

A generation of young people are looking for their first cybersecurity role, but employers are struggling to recruit and retain the talent they need.

Learn how offering and promoting work experience opportunities can attract, engage, and educate the next generation of talent and fill your cybersecurity roles. Drawing from real-life case studies, we explore how we can all work to close the cybersecurity skills gap.

Discover how the Cyber Choices Network is helping young people by diverting them into positive career choices, and how you can be supported by Speakers for Schools to connect with and inspire young talent.
