About the Scholarship
According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, the number of unfilled cybersecurity jobs grew from 1 million positions in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2021.
A lot of these roles are still yet to be filled because of a lack of talent. Yet, predictions show that there would be the same number of openings in 2025.
This is why we have partnered with Cisco to train 10,000 African youths and help them build careers in Cybersecurity.
