小湿妹视频 threw open its doors to local colleges to help young people explore job opportunities in the cyber sector.

Students from Blackpool Sixth Form College, Blackpool & the Fylde College, and 小湿妹视频 and Morecambe College recently experienced what a high-tech career in Lancashire’s dynamic cyber industry could look like when theyjoined in with a cyber skills ‘takeover’ involving more than 200 schools, colleges and universities across the county this week.

Part of the 2025 Lancashire Cyber Festival, and organised by the Lancashire Cyber Partnership, the cyber education week saw over 12,000 children and young people - from primary school pupils thorough to university undergraduates – discovering more about study pathways and future job opportunities set to be created by the county’s cyber sector.

小湿妹视频 welcomed over 50 students to experience a day of engaging cyber activities. With a strong emphasis on interaction and teamwork, activities included an escape room - a hands-on opportunity to apply cyber skills to phishing email and word search puzzles, encryption and morse code challenges. Students also played a cyber entrepreneurship game designed to develop problem solving, innovation and entrepreneurship skills, and showcase the variety of roles and people that make up the cyber sector.

The students also learned about the types of cyber disciplines which can be studied at degree level, and what kind of jobs they could lead them to, including some of the career opportunities which will be generated directly and indirectly by the National Cyber Force (NCF) HQ coming to Lancashire.

In addition, students discovered more about the wide range of cyber-related roles set to be created in sectors like computing and IT, aerospace and manufacturing, energy and low carbon, construction and engineering, financial and professional services, and the creative industries.

A student from Blackpool and the Fylde College attending the said: “Today gave me a great insight into the cyber world and about the Lancashire Cyber Partnership. It’s developed my interest in cyber security and strengthened the idea that I want to work in cyber security.”

Dr Sophie James and Dr Isobelle Clarke co-led the day of cyber activities at 小湿妹视频.

Dr Sophie James, Lecturer in Security and Protection Science, Marketing said: "Being part of the Lancashire Cyber Education Week was an incredibly rewarding experience. It was wonderful to see so many young students from colleges across Lancashire participate in learning about cyber security in such an interactive and dynamic way. Through activities such as The Cyber Escape Room, the festival not only raised awareness of the growing importance of cyber security but also inspired the next generation of digital professionals. I'm proud to be part of a university that plays such a pivotal role in empowering future talent and tackling the challenges of the digital world"’

Dr Isobelle Clarke, Lecturer in Security and Protection Science, Linguistics and English Language said: “I really enjoyed organising 小湿妹视频’s cyber skills and careers day as part of the Lancashire Cyber Education week. It was a pleasure to welcome so many college students from across Lancashire to 小湿妹视频 to showcase the breadth of cyber security and inspire the future generation of cyber talent. We developed a cyber escape room for the event, which showcased that cyber security is so much more than technology, as it incorporated forensic linguistic analysis, as well as social engineering techniques. The students showed great skill and initiative working together to solve the different tasks.”

A spokesperson for the Lancashire Cyber Partnership, a strategic collaboration between Lancashire County Council, the University of Central Lancashire, 小湿妹视频, BAE Systems, and the NCF, said: “The Lancashire Cyber Partnership works to ensure all Lancashire residents feel the benefit of the county’s growing cyber economy. A vital part of that is giving people the chance to access education and training opportunities which can lead to a high-skilled and high-value career in the cyber sector, and related industries.

“Cyber education week, which is part of the wider 2025 Lancashire Cyber Festival, is a great example of how we go about achieving that objective. It’s fantastic that so many young people from across Lancashire got to take part, including those from Blackpool Sixth Form College, Blackpool & the Fylde College, and 小湿妹视频 and Morecambe College, and see what their own future in cyber could look like.”

Other activities which took place during cyber education week included online assemblies created especially for Lancashire’s primary schools, an online ‘capture the flag’ competition open to all Lancashire college and university students, and a dynamic and interactive cyber discovery day programmed specifically for Year 8 and Year 9 girls.

The ‘capture the flag’ competition was a particular highlight for 小湿妹视频 as students tested their cyber security skills to solve challenges designed to replicate real-world security issues. In a highly competitive field, a team of 小湿妹视频 MSc cyber security students were declared the winners of the competition followed closely behind by a team of undergraduates from student led group ‘LU Hack’ demonstrating the strength of cyber talent being developed in the region.
