Emma’s story
I have embraced this fast-paced and exciting learning environment. Everyone from my mentor to my colleagues has been so supportive of my passion. I feel so confident in my abilities to succeed. I was always nervous that my dyslexia and lack of experience would hold me back, but NCC Group welcomed me and invests in our teams no matter what. If I can do it, anyone can! ”
As a former childcare specialist, Emma Hackett understands the importance of growth and development. Starting out in her career at 18, she developed a range of skills working with 5 to 11 year olds and children with disabilities before becoming a childminder for children aged from birth to 12 years. A believer in life-long learning she yearned to challenge herself and investigated how to start a career in cyber. Undertaking a few cyber programmes, she researched qualifications needed and found our programme. She applied and was in disbelief that NCC Group would take a chance on her. Emma has bolstered her learning by joining the Ladies Hacking Society, an online community in the UK, that supports those in the industry and those who want to join.
