Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 117
Improve gender and ethnic diversity in cyber workforce through new schemes and support.
Recommendation
We are particularly concerned that, despite the shortage of cyber skills in the UK, there are stubborn and significant disparities in the cyber workforce based on gender and race and ethnicity. The Government should reflect on the significant disparities in gender and race/ethnicity in the cyber workforce and take steps to improve these divides, such as by introducing additional schemes and funding to widen the talent pool, improving the culture of and attitudes to the cyber profession both in education and work, and considering how to provide professional support for people during their career.
