Telefónica’s Campus 42 is dedicated to attracting, educating and recruiting skilled cybersecurity professionals and experts. Campus 42 – characterized by free access to education with no classes or textbooks, available 24/7 and focusing on practical, project-based learning in a collaborative environment – aims to develop highly skilled technology experts in disciplines such as cybersecurity. The programme emphasizes the development of industry-relevant skills, and admission is based on logical thinking and problemsolving abilities rather than academic prerequisites. Telefónica, a key partner of Campus 42, provides essential support, including financial assistance and resources such as Telefónica office space. The company extends further support by offering employment opportunities and internships to Campus 42 students, enabling them to gain valuable work experience in the telecommunications and technology sectors. This collaboration has helped create a talent pool of highly skilled professionals available for recruitment, and Telefónica’s internal cybersecurity unit actively filters and collaborates with these individuals on internal projects, thereby promoting and refreshing internal cyber skills.
