Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has officially announced that the launch of the Australian Defence Force Cyber Gap Program is now underway, offering financial support, mentoring and Defence work experience opportunities for cyber students across Australia.
There are 48 students enrolled in this year’s pilot program, prior to a larger intake of 250 students in 2021.
The current intake of students are participating in work experience with Defence this month. This includes a 40-hour self-paced online cyber skills challenge, run by Canberra-based cyber training company Fifth Domain.
The program is open to Australian citizens who are already enrolled in or about to commence cyber-related studies that run for a minimum of 12 months.
