Education and technology are keys to opportunity, but so are equity and access.
To help bridge the opportunity gap and bring more diverse talent to cybersecurity, we will be working with Canada Learning Code and ComIT to offer scholarships to their network. They’ll also provide learners with support such as facilitated workshops, course guidance, and professional coaching, ensuring that those who come to them with an interest in cybersecurity leave with the ability to put it into action.
