Cyber security Mentoring Program

Greetings from the Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN), where ACT Minister, Mick Gentleman, just launched the OKRDY Cyber Edition Mentoring Program. An online system will match people with cyber security experience (mentors), with those could benefit from it (mentees). Added to the usual difficulty of matching people, is the needed to considered security clearances.

"A Canberra-based cyber security mentoring program helping local students connect with cyber professionals, organisations and government. OK RDY Cyber Edition is NOT simply a once off event, but a program of activities across, panels, mentorship matching, employer tours, social media and much more.

Our goal is to foster Canberra’s local cyber ecosystem, demystify cyber careers and help employers identify emerging cyber talent. This activity will develop a pipeline of job-ready cyber graduates in Canberra and collectively help to achieve greater employability, diversity and cultural outcomes for the cyber industry."
