Choose To Unlock Cyber
Cyber Security protects systems, networks, devices and data from attack. In the digital world that we live in, the need for protection has never been greater – and the career opportunities in the sector are huge.
There is a need to excite and engage young people to better understand and explore these opportunities. Unlock Cyber was created in 2018 to bring together employers, professional bodies, education providers and academia across the West of England region. Working collectively, we create, raise awareness and deliver cyber activities, resources and events for young people (age 11+) to help meet future skills needs.
Our aim is to be diverse and represent the region’s demographic.
We’re proudly supported by a growing number of organisations including the following who are actively involved in the project.
