Events

CyberFirst activities are intended to inspire and encourage students from all backgrounds to consider a career in cyber security.

CyberFirst is a programme of opportunities to help young people explore their passion for tech by introducing them to the fast paced world of cyber security.

CyberFirst covers a broad range of activities: a comprehensive bursary scheme to financially support undergraduates through university and a degree apprenticeship scheme; a girls' only competition, thousands of free places on CyberFirst courses at UK universities and colleges and our new initiative CyberFirst Schools and Colleges. Each activity is designed to seek out diverse people with potential, offering the support, skills, experience and exposure needed to be the future first line of defence in our CyberFirst world.

In this information session we will be introducing the current picture in the North East and discussing in more detail the role of the Cyber Ambassador in supporting North East schools.

The session will be delivered by:

Nik Kelsey, NCSC NE Hub Leader and Assistant Principle at King's Priory School

Janine Marshall, Head of Education and Skills at RTC North

There will be the opportunity to network as well as light refreshments also available.
