Influencing The Influencer Portal

Women account for only 17% of the UK's cyber workforce. As influencers, we need to educate young women and girls about the career opportunities available to them in cyber.

About This Portal

The CyberNorth influencing the influencer portal is designed to help influencers of young women and girls – their teachers and parents – get the information they need to support them into a career in cyber security.

Often young women need guidance and support when choosing a career or training pathway. This portal will give you information on jobs, training options, employers, and even links to case studies of women working in the cyber sector so you can help the young women you influence.

This portal is brought to you by CyberNorth, the cyber security cluster for the North East of England. For more information about CyberNorth, visit our main site.
