The Canadian government, in partnership with private sector companies, is offering cybersecurity training for immigrants, including Nigerians, to improve their chances of securing tech jobs in the country.
This initiative, based in Calgary, aims to equip participants with skills in cybersecurity, providing them with industry-recognized certifications upon completion.
The training spans 12 weeks and includes both technical skills and work-integrated learning. Participants will learn topics like cybersecurity fundamentals, encryption, Kali Linux, scripting languages, and more. The program also offers hands-on lab time, simulations, and the opportunity for four weeks of work experience.
Upon completing the program, participants will be placed in entry-level roles such as IT technicians, network testers, cybersecurity technicians, and more. The training is supported by the Alberta Ministry of Jobs, Economy, and Trade, in collaboration with ReTrain Canada and Manpower Canada.
