Launched in 2015 by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsc.gov.uk\/\">National Cyber Security Centre<\/a> (NCSC), CyberFirst has become a cornerstone of the UK\u2019s strategy to cultivate cyber security professionals. What can Japan learn from this transformative program?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df08a50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"df08a50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>CyberFirst\u2019s approach is holistic. It starts with early exposure, introducing students to cyber security concepts at an early age. By partnering with schools, the program provides curricula and hands-on activities, sparking interest long before career decisions are made. Accredited schools\u2014including some equivalent to Japanese junior high schools\u2014serve as hubs for these activities, creating a national network of cyber security education.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2eb6948 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2eb6948\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The program\u2019s focus on diversity is particularly noteworthy. With initiatives like the CyberFirst Girls Competition, it actively encourages female participation, addressing the gender imbalance in tech fields. By 2023, female scholarship recipients reached record levels, reflecting the program\u2019s success in fostering inclusivity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a5e4d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a5e4d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Collaboration with the private sector is another cornerstone. CyberFirst partners with over 100 companies, including IBM, HSBC, and NCD, which contribute resources, ambassadors, and lessons. This model not only enriches the learning experience but also builds a direct pipeline from education to employment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2565e08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2565e08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For Japan, adapting the CyberFirst model would involve tailoring it to local needs. Establishing regional cyber security education hubs aligns well with this vision. Engaging companies as partners could provide the necessary support and resources to scale these efforts nationally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e2c85a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e2c85a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The UK\u2019s experience shows that addressing the talent gap is not merely a matter of increasing numbers. It is about creating a culture that values cyber security, investing in early education, and fostering collaboration between public and private sectors. By embracing these lessons, Japan can not only narrow its talent gap but also build a resilient and future-ready workforce.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4cc733d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4cc733d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Partner with Nihon Cyber Defence (NCD) to help tackle the cyber security talent gap.
