In response to the high demand for cybersecurity talent, Siemens has created the CyberMinds Academy to attract and nurture new talent with no prior experience in cybersecurity into cybersecurity specialist roles. Running in two locations, in Portugal and Spain, the academy delivers a one-year training programme combining learning and practical on-the-job training. Participants also have the opportunity to work closely with cybersecurity experts and participate in a diverse cultural environment. The CyberMinds Academy not only contributes to the development and training of professionals who can bring fresh perspectives and ideas to cybersecurity but also promotes diversity and inclusion in the workforce. So far, the two CyberMinds Academies have trained 26 participants from different backgrounds. Eight of those individuals have been hired to work in cybersecurity for Siemens.
