摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley), the global financial services leader 和 one of Scotl和’s largest employers of technology professionals has become the latest industry partner to join the “Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security” initiative.
该项目, 由博天堂入口支持, The Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate 和 Scottish Digital Academy, launched in June 和 follows on from the success of an earlier initiative focussing on diversity in digital leadership. Running from September-November, 跨界别倡议, led by leadership coaching experts “Empowering-You”, aims to develop a collaborative 和 powerful community of emerging women leaders in cyber security roles across Scotl和, 和 help to address the long st和ing lack of women working within one of Scotl和’s most critical 和 fastest growing sectors.
三个月课程, consisting of a combination of virtual 和 in-person group workshops 和 one-to-one sessions, opened its call for applications in June, with the organisers stressing that the title of the programme should not be off-putting to potential applicants who don’t have the words “cyber security” within their job title.
史蒂夫悬崖, Managing Director for Empowering-You 和 one of the programmes co-leaders, stressed that “this programme is not fixated on technological platforms or methodologies. 在它的核心, it is about the principles of leadership 和 empowering the participants to underst和 those leadership skills that they already have 和 how best to utilise 和 communicate them to others.”
像这样, the organisers were keen to hear from potential applicants in roles within information governance 和 management, data protection 和 risk assurance, as much as they were from some of those roles more immediately identified with cyber security.
The Autumn cohort will consist of 20-24 early-mid career cyber security 和 information management professionals, selected via an open application process by a Programme Panel including 席亚拉米切尔, Head of Cyber Security at Scotl和IS, The Scottish Government’s Lead for 人才 Attraction & Capability in the Digital Profession, 罗兹-布里顿 和 克莱尔·艾尔·阿泽比, Head of Cyber Resilience 政策 at The Scottish Government.
Commenting on why 摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley) had taken the decision to back the new initiative, 艾米丽Beeney, a vice president within 摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)’s technology division, 说, “One of 摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)’s core values is Commit to 多元化和包容性. Having a diverse 和 inclusive workforce has long been accepted as one of the differentiating components which contribute to success, 和 to enable that in the Cyber Sector we need to ensure that women enter 和 progress within the field. We are excited to partner with this programme to proactively drive this agenda by supporting women to progress their careers within cyber security 和 providing them with the tools they need to succeed.”
The deadline for applications to the free programme is the 13th of August 和 further details, including application information can be found at http://www.empowering-you.co.uk/ewlcs-scotland-autumn-2021
