-

 

During this year's European Cybersecurity Month we would like to invite you to the two-days virtual event “The Importance of Cyber Security Skills in Today’s EU Job Market”, that will take place on October 28th -29th 2020.

The aim of this event is to take stock of the situation regarding the cyber security skills that are missing in the current and future European labour market, and to reflect about what are the strategies to be implemented at the educational level to fill the gaps. The event is mainly addressed at teachers and digital sector professionals.

On October 28th, you'll be able to listen to high-level speeches from Cisco, European Commission and Enisa about EU's strategy for digital skills and which are the activities that could be implemented to create awareness and competences among young students and professionals.

On October 29th, Cisco Networking Academy Instructors will lead cyber security labs.

Register now (it's the same link for both days, so you only need to register once):

Oct. 28th - 3.30pm Plenary Session – 2 hours

Oct. 29th - 3.30pm Cyber Security Lab – 1 hour

The reason: societal barriers such as discrimination, limited access to education an...
