“We offer professionals the chance to future-proof their career and protect their businesses with the Diploma of IT (Cyber).

“We are thrilled that Monash College will play a central role in a week dedicated to the EdTech sector, to innovation and digital learning, and to championing the emerging competencies in the future of work.” 

Learners enrolling in the Monash College Future Skills Cyber pillar programs and courses will gain: 

  • explicit knowledge to become a sought-after cyber professional

  • a competitive edge with the practical know-how and knowledge of cyber governance 

  • the opportunity to work alongside passionate instructors and peers in a supportive learning environment. 

The Cyber Launch event was addressed by a host of expert leaders, including Brian Wexham, CEO and Chair, National Skills Week, Craig Robertson, Victorian Skills Commissioner, Jamie Wiggins, Intelligence and Vulnerability Management Lead, Healthscope.
