New cybersecurity apprenticeship for local government

A new tailored IT apprenticeship for city and county council workers has been launched to boost cybersecurity in local government.

Ten local authorities across Ireland have joined the initiative, which aims to equip staff with the skills and expertise to protect local government networks and data from cyber attacks.

The Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Programme features a 70:30 split between workplace learning and off-the-job training.

When completed, the programme will equip participants with the skills and knowledge to work in cybersecurity roles within the local government sector, and they will receive an Advanced Certificate in Cybersecurity.
