Ethical Hacking skills/careers talk with Cheryl Torano

 

Thank you to everyone who attended our online careers talk on “Ethical Hacking skills/careers talk with Cheryl Torano” on 19^th January 2023 (as part of our project funded by the Scottish Government and supported by Digital Xtra Fund).

During the session we explored online ethical aspects, getting inspiration from the ‘Maddie is Online’ stories that are currently developing in schools, as part of our competition which sought creative teams from schools and selected 5 teams to produce cartoon video stories on our new series. Our guest speaker, Cheryl Torano, covered many different careers directions and it was also lovely to meet one of the S2 classes that took part in our online session. We also shared two important Scottish government reports the project aligns with:

• An Ethical Digital Nation - A changing nation: how Scotland will thrive in a digital world - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)
• Frameworks and Concepts - Building trust in the digital era: achieving Scotland's aspirations as an ethical digital nation - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)
