Bridging the Gap:
The Transition from Women4Cyber Academy to Road2Cyber
In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, education and practical application go hand in hand. The Women4Cyber Academy, with its commitment to facilitating access to cybersecurity education, has played a pivotal role for learners. However, recognising the need for a more comprehensive approach, the W4C Academy is now embarking on an exciting transition to the Road2Cyber platform. This shift promises not only enhanced access to education but also a seamless connection to job opportunities, talent development, and much more.
Supporting Cybersecurity Professionals Throughout Their Careers
While the Women4Cyber Academy serves as an excellent tool for finding the right educational resources, our goal extends beyond merely acquiring skills. We aim to accompany cybersecurity professionals at all stages of their careers. Whether it is gaining essential skills, securing a job, upskilling or advancing within your current position, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Collaboration between ECSO and Women4Cyber
To achieve a more holistic approach to career progression, we have joined forces with ECSO to consolidate all our efforts regarding career progression in cybersecurity into a single platform: Road2Cyber. Road2Cyber is a step forward in bridging the cybersecurity skills gap and fostering diversity in the field by streamlining hiring processes, providing targeted training recommendations, and actively encouraging women to join the cybersecurity community.
