SheLeadsTech Melbourne and AWSN (Australian Women in Security Network) have agreed to form a partnership on their shared initiatives to support girls and women who are either starting or developing their careers in technology and information security. SheLeadsTech Melbourne is supporting the AWSN Cadets Volunteer Program which aims to connect, support and inspire female-identifying tertiary students and early career professionals. Participants to the AWSN Cadets Program can either be a member Cadet or a volunteer Coach (Male coaches are also welcome!) The member Cadets may benefit from this program from the networking events, practical workshops, one-on-one mentoring opportunities, leadership opportunities and if available, discounted or free tickets to security conferences/events and professional development opportunities. The volunteer Coaches may also be benefitted from this program through networking with peers who also enjoy mentoring, public speaking opportunities, sharing security research and developing soft skills such as leadership skills and communication skills.
Details of the AWSN Cadets Volunteer Program are available in the AWSN website: https://www.awsn.org.au/index.php/awsn-cadets/
