ThriveDX, a global leader in cybersecurity and digital skills training, continues its mission to reskill and upskill the global cybersecurity workforce with the launch of a cybersecurity apprenticeship programme that will create job opportunities for diverse cyber talent at no-training cost. This unique programme, made possible through strategic partnerships with non-profit organisations focusing on registered apprenticeships, aims to address the growing cybersecurity talent shortage while simultaneously enhancing workplace diversity across the sector.
The Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program provides companies a unique opportunity to build their cybersecurity capacity with highly skilled and properly trained individuals at little risk. Participants from a range of backgrounds who possess the required aptitude are put through an intensive cybersecurity bootcamp which will be paid for by leveraging non-profit funds. At the end of training, participants will have the opportunity to gain certifications and enter a one-year apprenticeship with one of ThriveDX’s partner organisations. Apprentices are paid a fair, but lower wage than other employees, giving companies the benefit of obtaining talent at a reduced rate during their apprenticeship. To foster diversity, a majority of apprenticeship candidates will hail from underrepresented and under-resourced communities, including veterans of the US military.
“We’re proud to be a partner in this initiative to bridge not only the cyber workforce gap, but the industry’s diversity shortage,” said Dan Vigdor, Founder, Co-CEO and Executive Chairman at ThriveDX. “Adding this apprenticeship opportunity further supports our learners who already benefit from our strong partnerships with educational entities, industry experts and hiring partners.”
