The scholarships will provide access to training linked to micro-credentials, which are co-designed and co-delivered by industry and education experts for specific job outcomes, ranging from the technical skills of cyber security to cyber governance, leadership and policy.

Micro-credentials can be completed with a combination of online and place-based learning at IATD (Institute of Applied Technology – Digital) at TAFE Meadowbank NSW.
