What are Industry Partners?

CyberFirst Schools and Colleges are recognised by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) as leaders in Computing and Cyber education. In Wales, they’re also partnered with a forward-thinking CyberFirst Industry Partner – a tech company who help bring the subject to life.

As a CyberFirst Industry Partner, you’ll help deliver hands-on enrichment, introduce learners to role models, and show them what a career in cyber looks like. Everything you do will be part of a manageable, pre-defined framework, so that your time is used efficiently, with maximum impact.
