Building the Bridge Between Students and Industry

The WA AustCyber Innovation Hub proudly launched a new initiative earlier this month. The new Students of Cyber (SoC) Industry Connect group held its first event at The George, Perth.
 
With attendance figures far exceeding expectations, the inaugural SoC connect event brought together a healthy mix of students currently undertaking a course in cyber security through universities or TAFEs and industry professionals in WA’s cyber security sector.
 
Attendees of various ages and backgrounds got to hear from the CTO of upcoming WA start-up, Stefan Prandl, as he presented a very engaging and at times humorous talk about his pathway into cyber security and the role he currently plays at Hyprfire. We were also honoured to be in the presence of various team members from Cyber CX, ES2, and another fast growing start-up, Retrospect Labs.
 
“The talk given by Stefan Prandl was both technically mind blowing but also grounded in making sure students felt they had a community and industry to be part of in Perth”, is just some of the overwhelmingly positive feedback received so far from students at the event.
 
SoC Industry Connect Events run on the first Tuesday of each month, with the next scheduled meetup on the 4th of May and hosted by Cyber CX in their Perth headquarters. Tickets will be available via Eventbrite later on in April. You can also follow SoC here on LinkedIn – https://www.linkdedin/showcase/studentsofcyber

Professor Craig Valli of ECU says “this is a project that has winners all around, the students get invaluable education and training on delivering presentations not afforded in the regular curriculum. The double down is the SME community gets a resource and the triple threat is that the students are employed to do this, creating employment. It is this sort of grass roots initiative that involves industry, academia and government collaborating to create real impact”
