You’ll complete mandatory training modules (plus one of your choice) at a Lancashire academic institute, delivered in four-week blocks. This will include lectures, seminars and self-study, plus supervised lab sessions, real-world simulations and group projects. With our support and your drive to learn, you’ll develop the skills required to support our cyber teams and gain practical experience that prepares you for a fascinating, impactful career with GCHQ. </p><p>When you’re not studying, you’ll immerse yourself in our friendly, collaborative work environment as you complete rotations across our different technical teams before you move into a dedicated team after 18 months. You’ll be surrounded by colleagues keen to share their knowledge and hear your contributions as you apply what you’ve learned to real projects. </p><h4>Job description</h4><p>You might be exploring our specialist tools and technologies, including Docker, cloud services, mobile applications and programming languages such as TypeScript, Python, React and Go. Or, you’ll be developing existing and future infrastructure solutions, undertaking security and vulnerability research, or conducting Computer Network Operations.
