Application for CyberGirls Fellowship Programme for African only

Applications are now open for the CyberGirls Fellowship, a 1-year fellowship that equips girls with globally sought-after cybersecurity skills, helping them to seize work opportunities within Africa and across the world. This Fellowship will produce a crop of very hungry but knowledgeable budding female cybersecurity enthusiasts, who’ll need to get their hands dirty to hone their newly acquired skills in the following niche areas: Threat Intelligence, Incidence analysis/response (SOC Analyst level 1), Cloud Security, IT Security Audit, and Penetration/vulnerability testing. 

This hunger and drive to learn will deliver immense benefits to any employer lucky enough to have them. Be one of the first employers to hire these fresh talents who will become available to work physically or remotely anywhere in the world from, November 2022. Sign up to be a placement partner by clicking the link below or email us
