Tech Time 2 Skills - Cybersecurity

Tech Time 2 Skill’s main goal is to encourage the acquisition of Cybersecurity skills by the European labour force by piloting and deploying training programmes focusing on the most in-demand advanced digital skills in Cybersecurity. The project targets SMEs staff (leaders, managers and high skilled workers) as well as seekers, in order to foster EU’s digital talents pools, thus supporting the digital transformation of European SMEs in a sustainable manner.
The training programme on Cybersecurity consists of three levels that are entirely free of charge for the trainees.
The acculturationprogramme (8-hour courses) provides SMEs leaders with a strong understanding of cybersecurity obligations and key threats for companies, along with best practices for SMEs.
The intensive training (35-hour courses), focused on Cybersecurity, empowers SMEs high skilled workers to become cybersecurity ambassadors who promote best practices and foster a security culture.
Lastly, specialisation bootcamps (3 to 6 months), focused on Cybersecurity, target the integration of cybersecurity technologies into existing systems.
This project aims to engage all workforce members in the acceleration of the EU digital capacities.
Using active pedagogy in the training programmes enhances trainees’ ability to grasp and relate to their future roles and responsibilities more effectively. This enables trainers to remain adaptable and attuned to the needs of the workforces in their daily activities, allowing the consortium to innovate quickly and keep pace with advancing technologies. This innovative teaching method is a significant strength of the consortium, co-led by Simplon and BeCode which includes six partners: Simplon.co (France), Factoria F5 (Spain), PIMEC (Spain), Agoria (Belgium), and Agence du Numérique (Belgium), along with the industry leader Microsoft as an associated partner. Through this collaborative effort, Tech Time 2 Skill aims to empower the European workforce, ensuring it is well-equipped to meet the challenges of an increasingly digital economy.
