125 complete Cyber Nations training

McConney recalled that she met with the participants during the course when many of them lamented that they had to make significant sacrifices, as the training was intense, with many assignments to be completed. “When I spoke to you in January, I said to you that you were pioneers because this was the first time we were doing a programme like this in Barbados. And many of you were pioneers not just in terms of the programme, but some of you were stuck in your own lives, not sure where to go next, and this was a pioneering effort for you in finding a new opportunity in a space you would have never imagined. “For some of you who are actually making career shifts because of the training you have had, you would see that you are graduating to new opportunities, and I ask that you continue to hold the faith in yourselves first and in this programme to be able to deliver all that it had intended to deliver for all of you,” McConney said. The accredited Cyber Nations is a Coalition of Leaders working together to educate and employ 100 000 African, Caribbean and Canadian learners within the global cybersecurity industry. (AH)]]>
