Registration has opened for a new training cohort at the Azerbaijan Cybersecurity Center, jointly established by the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, the Innovation and Digital Development Agency, and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
This cohort offers a special opportunity: among those who successfully complete the program, the top 5 graduates will earn the chance to participate in a one-month international internship at leading companies abroad, gaining hands-on experience in a real work environment.
Citizens of Azerbaijan aged 17 and above, with English language proficiency and basic ICT skills, are eligible to apply. Registered candidates will go through a selection process that includes exams and interviews. The exam—conducted by international experts—will assess candidates’ logical and analytical thinking, ICT knowledge and skills, and English proficiency. Those who pass the interview stage will be selected, with 60 participants admitted to the program on a fully funded basis. Only top-performing candidates at each stage will advance.
The program will be delivered by the academic staff of Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, following their teaching methodology and combining both theoretical and practical knowledge. The training will run for 6 months, with classes from 09:00 to 16:00 and practical sessions from 16:00 to 21:00.
Within the program, participants will be trained in two specialized tracks: Red Team (offensive) and Blue Team (defensive).
