The takeaway from this event is that students will have a better understanding of the different opportunities and career pathways available, so they can make the right choices for them.

Employer topics to include:

• Brief introduction to organisation – what they do
• Understand their recruitment processes and what’s involved
• How cyber fits within their organisation. Why it’s important 
• Team structure / Breadth of roles – what type of roles exist and what areas they cover. How they work with other areas of the business
• Perception of roles – What skills are needed or will they learn (especially as an apprentice)
• What they look for when recruiting i.e. knowledge / interests / skills
• Career pathways / opportunities (apprenticeships, graduate programmes)
• How / when to apply – as applicable

Our research has found that previous Unlock Cyber attendees have successfully applied for early entry career opportunities!

Here is the programme from our 2026 taster day to give you a flavour.

Please note that schools must register in advance to attend.
