Manchester: Government Cyber Work Experience Day In person event
This event is for: Year 12 and 13, college and gap year students interested in a career in Cyber, Engineering and/or Analyst with the Government Cyber agencies and looking at Early Careers programmes.
Cyberspace is constantly evolving, and so are cyber careers.
The National Cyber Force (NCF) is a partnership between GCHQ, Ministry of Defence, Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Dstl (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory).
NCF is responsible for operating in and through cyberspace to counter threats, disrupting and contesting those who would do harm to the UK and its allies, to keep the country safe and to protect and promote the UK’s interests at home and abroad.
Being a unique partnership construct, with each organisation bringing complimentary skills and expertise that are critical to their success, NCF believe by bringing together this uniquely diverse mix of minds that they can have a significant impact on a wide range of adversaries.
Working in cyber provides you with the chance to use your skills to their full potential and play your part in keeping the country safe. NCF need both technical and non-technical people, with both providing their own individual knowledge and experience.
By joining this event, you'll find out more about how the National Cyber Force works to protect the country against cyber threats.
