There have already been reams written about the cyber security skills shortage, but attracting fresh blood to the industry, giving those who are interested a clear idea of the opportunities available, and helping recruits build their careers is still essential.
This is where apprenticeships can enter the picture – helping dispel misconceptions around the profession; giving a route into the industry to people from all backgrounds; and giving organisations the opportunity to build the competence and experience in employees that they need.
