Build the tech talent your business needs, now
The UTS IDeA (Industry Degree Academy) Cadetship program is a proven, industry-backed program that’s unique to Sydney universities. We connect organisations with talented, job-ready students in Cybersecurity and Computer Science; students who bring new thinking, emerging skills and creative energy into your teams.
This isn’t work experience. It’s workforce development. And it’s designed to help industry respond to one of the most urgent challenges today: the digital and cybersecurity skills shortage.
We've proudly hosted computer science and cyber security students through the IDeA program for several years, and it's been incredibly rewarding to watch them grow into valued members of our Digital and Information team at the Premier’s Department.
