How we partnered NASSCOM Foundation & a Global Cyber Security Product Organization to marry twin agenda of building capacity in India to handle Cybersecurity threats & provide livelihoods to women

  • Synopsis:

    Cybersecurity is a challenge faced by all organizations and governments across the world. It offers employment opportunities and the opportunity is growing by leaps and bounds. Being a new field, the number of skilled manpower is low and the need is very high. A leading cybersecurity company in association with NASSCOM Foundation met both social and commercial objectives by training women engineers in the field of cybersecurity. It was a well-targeted job-oriented training program directed at women beneficiaries from underprivileged sections of society.

  • The Situation:

    Cybersecurity is one of the hottest domains for young professionals to build a career in. India is among the top 5 countries in the world impacted by cyber-crimes and frauds. Becoming skilled in Cyber Security, can open up Global opportunities for anyone. There is a severe shortage of talent in this space. There is a huge opportunity of training youth from graduate colleges tier 2 & 3 cities for deployment in this domain. Unfortunately, such colleges do not have the capability to deliver this service.

    A leading cybersecurity multinational company in partnership with NASSCOM Foundation sponsored a job-oriented cybersecurity training program. Women engineers who graduated from NAAC B & C accredited colleges were to be chosen as beneficiaries for this program.

    We were appointed as the implementation partner.

  • The Solution:

    A comprehensive 350-hour Virtual Instructor Led Training (vILT) program was designed which included training in fundamentals, coding experience, and industry interactions. A robust Learning Management System was deployed for top-up self-paced learning and to monitor the progress of the program.

    The Impact:

    197 women engineers from marginalized backgrounds or displaced due to COVID, or on a sabbatical, were certified and over half of them were placed in suitable jobs.
