Cybersecurity is the fastest-growing tech occupation globally, yet it’s still insufficient to address the increasing industry skills gap. Despite the rapid expansion of the cybersecurity field being a positive trend, research highlights a significant workforce shortage, especially among women, who make up only around 24 per cent of the total cybersecurity workforce.
The British Council is seeking a highly skilled Technical Consultant specialising in leadership development training who will design and implement the Leadership Training Programme for Women in Cybersecurity in Albania, which aims to empower and equip women with the skills and confidence needed to advance in leadership roles within the industry.
This two-day training programme will be designed to enable the transition of about 20 aspirational and early to mid-career professionals, team leaders and managers into more confident, capable and energised leaders.
This training is part of the Her Cyber programme, which aims to increase women’s participation in the cybersecurity workforce in Albania and is funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for competent and motivated individuals who meet the following criteria:
- Master’s degree in Social Science, HR, Management or related fields with a minimum of five (5) years’ experience in training and facilitation
- Previous experience in designing and facilitating training on leadership
- Experience in designing cyber security training for young professionals will be considered an advantage.
- Proficiency in English
