IN4 Group Social Impact Report 2024

CYBERFIRST Schools & Colleges Scheme Pathway

“Developing a diverse cyber workforce is vital for ensuring the UK remains safe online, and we are committed to removing barriers so young people can pursue careers in the field. I am delighted to see the positive impact our CyberFirst initiative is having in the North West – recognising schools for the very best in cyber education and helping pupils develop valued tech skills. Working with IN4 Group, I look forward to seeing the programme grow across the region, paying dividends for the local ecosystem and contributing to our national cyber resilience now and into the future.”
