SEP2 Cyber School Event April 2024
At SEP2 Cyber School, we strive to help build students’ confidence and deepen their knowledge of cyber security, including understanding what we do at SEP2 and what other career opportunities there are in the industry. To help make learning fun and encourage the students to participate, we give out raffle tickets when they ask or answer a question. These raffle tickets can be used to win two major prizes at the end of the day – The Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit or a £45 voucher to Hack the Box Academy.
The day was filled with fun activities including workshops on cyber security, an interactive quiz, and a CV Masterclass. The workshops ran throughout the day and focused on three main scenarios: Attack, Defend, and Analyse. The interactive quiz was presented by Dave Gore, People Manager at SEP2, and the students raced to answer questions on cyber security to win even more raffle tickets. After the quiz, Dave ran a CV Masterclass, an incredible opportunity for the students to develop their CV skills and learn from top tips from someone recruiting in the cyber security industry.
The SEP2 team is incredibly passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise with the next generation of cyber security specialists. They are eager to show students just how interesting a career in cyber security can be, including girls and minority groups, who may not have the same opportunities into a career in tech.
Feedback from the students is incredibly important to SEP2, as it helps us make sure they’re enjoying their day whilst they learn.
