Securing the Future: How Businesses Can Build a Cybersecurity Talent Pipeline with the Apprenticeship Levy
The global shortage of cybersecurity professionals is one of the most pressing risks facing organisations today. While the threat landscape grows ever more complex, many businesses struggle to recruit and retain the skilled talent needed to protect their systems and data.
This talk will explore how UK businesses can turn the challenge into an opportunity by leveraging the Government Apprenticeship Levy to fund the training and development of the next generation of cybersecurity experts.
Drawing on industry insights, real-world examples, and apprenticeship success stories, we will cover:
• The talent gap problem – why traditional hiring alone can’t solve it.
• Understanding the Apprenticeship Levy – what it is, who pays it, and how to access unused funds.
• Designing a cybersecurity apprenticeship programme – from recruitment strategies to embedding learning into live security projects.
• Upskilling existing staff – using apprenticeships not just for entry-level hires, but to enhance your current workforce’s capabilities.
• Return on investment – how levy-funded apprenticeships deliver long-term value by reducing skills shortages, increasing staff retention, and improving cyber resilience.
