This week, we kicked off the 2025 UK Cyber Leaders Challenge in style, with our Careers Day & Launch Event. Thank you to BT for kindly hosting us at the iconic BT Tower in London, with stunning views across the city.

The day kicked off with a welcome from competition Director, Rob Black, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with great conversations & learning. Speakers from BAE Systems, BT, Beazley and government took to the stage sharing their wisdom for students seeking to embark on their career in cyber.

The students then split up into groups, participating in hands-on workshops covering CV writing, how to network effectively, interview guidance as well as exploring a careers fair & mentoring session.

As evening approached and the sun set over London, guests headed upstairs to for a well-earned networking reception with night-time views over the city lights.

Thank you to everyone that attended to create a wonderful atmosphere to kick of the UK Cyber Leaders Challenge.

Next up, it's time for teams to form and submit their applications to compete in the 2025 competition.
