Figures from the Department for Education show that IT is the second hardest hit industry in the UK when it comes to skills shortages. In particular, cyber security and software developers are massively sought after and there are significant shortfalls in locations all over the UK.
Generating these skilled workers is vitally important. There have been 1,769,185,053 leaked records since January 2016, and attacks manifest constantly through initiatives that target both business and individuals.
Raytheon is investing in training the next generation to tackle this growing risk, which is why it is launching a new UK Cyber Apprenticeship Scheme to help businesses upskill their workforce.
Our apprenticeships will generate fully qualified security practitioners on two specialist tracks: Cyber intrusion analysts and cybersecurity technologists.
