Supporting JINC to improve a child’s future chances In the Netherlands, we provide our expertise to JINC, a Dutch non-profit organisation that strives for a society in which a child’s background doesn’t determine their future and offers equal opportunities and a fair chance for all. The partnership enables our colleagues to invest in and give something back to the local community and includes an internship, teaching the basics of programming at schools in The Hague and Rotterdam area, job interview training at schools in Delft and participation in the “Boss for a Day” event, where organisations all around the Netherlands invite children to shadow their CEO. Developing the next generation through CyberFirst The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) offers summer courses for young people aged between 11 and 17 years of age. We support the creation and delivery of relevant training material that fits within the syllabus of each level, and our colleagues get involved through virtual and face-to-face sessions with students. Supporting universities in the UK We sit on the Industry Advisory Boards of the University of Gloucester, Abertay University, the University of Kent and Birmingham City University, providing expertise for their related cyber courses. At the University College of London, we are a supporting industry partner for the Centre of Doctoral Training in Data Intensive Science. We mentor PhD students every year on a group project, in addition to MSc students on their dissertations. Colleagues can get involved in these programmes through the mentoring of students, presentations and Capture the Flag hacking events.
Sponsorship of Defcon tickets In the United States, we sponsored two $1,500 tickets for Black Girls Hack summer camp delegates to attend Defcon. Uptree partnership to support diversity commitment Uptree works closely with teachers and career advisers to connect young people with organisations before they leave school. Through our partnership we’ll be able to reach and engage with over 127,000 talented and diverse students across the UK. In the past year, with pandemic restrictions lifting, we’ve welcomed students to our Manchester HQ for cyber events, and our colleagues are also involved in broader mentoring, volunteering and giving presentations.
