Alternative pathways

We at Cyber Revolution are proud to announce that we are a part of the NSW Digital Skills and Workforce Compact’s 20% Alternative Pathways Pledge.

As one of 41 organizations committed to this initiative, we pledge that by 2030, 20% of our digital entry-level hires will come from alternative pathways – including bootcamps, VET courses, and vendor certifications.

We believe cybersecurity talent comes from many backgrounds, and non-traditional routes often produce the most innovative minds in our field. This commitment aligns with our mission to “secure your future” by building a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we protect.

Together with our fellow Compact Partners, we’re helping address the 85,000 digital worker shortage while creating opportunities for underrepresented groups to enter cybersecurity. Because when it comes to protecting against digital threats, skills and passion matter more than the path taken to acquire them.
