The King's Speech resonated strongly with the work we're already doing at CAPSLOCK to break down barriers and create opportunities. The return of Sure Start is fantastic news, particularly for supporting women re-entering the workforce. Transforming the apprenticeship levy for 19-25-year-olds into a broader levy is a positive step too, increasing access to training and reskilling for a wider demographic. However, we would have liked to have seen perhaps a bolder approach for reskilling those over 25! The average age of our reskill alumni is 36, and while individual learning accounts are welcome, will they offer the same level of financial incentive for businesses compared to the levy system... The "one size fits all" approach to skills development raises questions for us too. How will it adapt to different industries? The cyber security sector, for example, has long struggled with skills shortages and is in desperate need of innovative solutions. That's something we're not sure this plan fully addresses. Determining "high value" programmes and maintaining a list of approved non-apprentice courses will be key. But that begs the question, how will these decisions be made, and will this system create a gatekeeper to skills development? Overall, for us at CAPSLOCK, the focus on skills and opportunities is extremely positive. The devil will be in the details, and we truly look forward to seeing how these initiatives are implemented in the coming year. #KingsSpeech #SkillsDevelopment #Opportunity #Workforce #CyberSecurity https://lnkd.in/euazKwc8

To give our CAPSLOCK Alumni the best support we can on their journey into the industry, we connect them with some amazing mentors from the world of cyber.

Offering opportunities to veterans and their families is really important to us, and we’re proud to have supported amazing learners like Rachel Morley-Jones MBCS, whose determination led her from RAF stay-at-home Mum to Cybersecurity Consultant at Bridewell. Rachel’s experience was also made possible by TechVets, whom she recently joined in a webinar to discuss her experiences reskilling into cyber.

Earlier this year, our COO and Co-Founder .Lorna Armitage joined BAE Systems Digital Intelligence and DE&I advocates for the tech industry at Bletchley Park for the Tech Talent Charter’s first 2024 roadshow. Joining as a proud advocate for accessibility in the cyber industry, Lorna said, "I think my key takeaway from the day would be what can we do as a small business? It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, but there are small things we can do..." What changes do you think cyber businesses need to make to attract a wider range of talent and expertise? #DEI #cybersecurity #BAESystems #cyberindustry
