Civil service hopes to attract best and brightest cyber talent with new graduate scheme
Briefly

"The Fast Stream programme is welcomed at a time when cyber skills are urgently needed. With the cyber landscape becoming more complex and the advent of new technologies such as GenAI, the need for skilled employees has never been more crucial," said Ben McCarthy, lead cybersecurity Engineer at Immersive Labs.
"The programme will provide graduates with the opportunity to learn unique skills, which may never be developed in the private sector, and to tackle challenges that will undoubtedly prove valuable later on."
"Of course, salaries are often a reason why people turn away from the public sector. To ensure that individuals remain in the sector after they've run the course of the scheme, I hope to see that there will be a well-defined structure put in place like other sectors such as accounting which ensure a well-defined career progression," said Trevor Dearing, director of critical infrastructure at Illumio.
