Digital Skills and Jobs Platform

At the Digital Academy, I realised that technology isn’t just for the chosen few. All it takes is the willingness to learn and a supportive environment. And that’s what I found at Czechitas.

Lander Laskibar is a volunteer with Fundación Cibervoluntarios and takes part in RetoHacker by delivering training workshops for young people aged 16 to 24. Drawing on his professional background, he values a practical and approachable way of explaining digital security, and the impact this can have on young people who haven’t previously seen it as a possible career path. For him, tech volunteering is a way to share what he knows and help build a safer digital world.

You must use AI wisely. You need to set boundaries for how much you rely on it and what you use it for. And you can´t believe everything, you must always check. This training really reinforced that for me.

Participating in the IBM SkillsBuild Cybersecurity Certificate provided me with practical, up-to-date knowledge on data protection and digital security, which are essential skills in today’s world. I particularly appreciated the clear, real-world approach of the content. I highly value IBM’s commitment to making high-quality cybersecurity education accessible and helping more people develop in-demand technology skills.

This training gave me the foundation and confidence to make the transition from traditional infrastructure into defensive cybersecurity. Its practical approach helped me overcome uncertainty and even build my own SOC lab. I greatly value how IBM SkillsBuild makes high-quality cybersecurity education accessible to everyone and supports professional reinvention in a rapidly evolving field.

Great experience at the IBM Cyber Academy! During the first part of the day, we participated in a practical cyberattack simulation inside the Cyber Theatre. Working in teams, we had to manage the situation from a company's perspective, analysing the problem and finding solutions in real time. It was a concrete and engaging way to understand how important collaboration, quick decision-making, and preparedness are when dealing with cyber incidents. A truly interesting and engaging experience that allowed me to gain practical insights into cybersecurity and innovation.
