International and Business Outreach Programme (IBOP)

CSE Connect champions the transformational potential of cyber security education. This potential rests on effective development of the knowledge and skills of diverse individuals, as well as meeting the needs of employers.

This places educational practice within a dynamic ecosystem of individual, organisational, regional, national and international requirements.

To support this, CSE Connect operates the International and Business Outreach Programme (IBOP). 

About the Programme

The programme focuses on developing international and business (public and private end-user) collaboration with the UK cyber security education community for the following ultimate purposes:

  • Engage learners through innovation and relevance
     

  • Inspire and facilitate diverse entry to cyber education
     

  • Help individuals realise their potential in cyber in their working life
     

  • Supply employers with the necessary education and skills required now and in the near future
     

  • Raise the quality of education and skills, through contributing to the development of coherent standards across borders

 

Our activities activities aim to create opportunities for co-working on shared challenges, and disseminating our output to those who can facilitate change.​​

How to get involved

We actively search for collaborators to engage with the International Business and Outreach Programme.  We do this through: 

 

  • Running a UK programme bringing together, industry, government and educational collaborators under the guidance of our programme steering committee (see below). This aims to develop interventions in the UK eco-system to improve the way it works for students, educators and employers.  A fundamental principle is taking account of how this adds to the resilience of individuals, businesses and the UK as a whole.   

 

  • Providing co-leadership and a secretariat for the International Cybersecurity Education Collaborative (ICEC) (Hyper link), which brings international perspectives and action regarding our interests in working with industry, diversity and innovation in education.
