The DICT Cybersecurity Training and Scholarships program is a workforce development initiative delivered in partnership with Google Philippines, aimed at building a pipeline of entry-level cybersecurity professionals to address the country’s growing demand for skilled cybersecurity talent. The program provides participants with structured training in cybersecurity fundamentals, threat detection and response, network security, risk management, and other core competencies aligned with globally recognized cybersecurity frameworks and certifications — equipping graduates with the knowledge and credentials needed to pursue careers in one of the fastest-growing fields in the ICT industry.
Scholarships under this program are made available to qualified Filipinos, with priority given to unemployed individuals, career shifters, and ICT students seeking to specialize in cybersecurity. By partnering with a global technology leader like Google Philippines, DICT ensures that training content reflects current industry standards and best practices, and that program completers are recognized by employers in both the domestic and international cybersecurity job market. The program represents a strategic investment in the country’s digital security workforce — addressing both employment needs and national cybersecurity resilience simultaneously.
