In the 24-25 academic year, CyberWomen Groups C.I.C. has supported 10 University branches, with another 4 in the onboarding process, and 240 community members in providing opportunities in cyber security. While focusing on spotlighting and supporting those from under-represented groups in Cyber, we have worked with hundreds of passionate students to encourage diversity in the field, as well as amplifying the voice of the student. Specifically, to meet our mission of creating an inclusive community that welcomes everybody, and encouraging positive change towards diversity in STEM, we have: Expanded from working with 8 Universities to 10 Universities, with another 2 onboarded and ready to be launched in September. This included our first Wales branch and further presence in the North. Further expanded our ‘Internal Team’ to allow for future growth. We now have 4 teams with 14 volunteers who assist with the day to day running and upkeep of the branch. Hosted our annual conference, this time in the south (Bristol) with over 120 attendees. Hosted the CyberWomen Birthday Party, to celebrate 1 year of the CIC and bring together our network. Continued to build and expand our Capture the Flag (CTF) platform, with a dedicated CTF team building challenges and hosting 3 events. Hosted a total of 98 events - including workshops, webinars, panels and community network events. Continued to hold workshops and talks for local schools and education communities, to inspire more young people to consider taking Computer science GCSE and explaining all the career opportunities in the field. Ten CyberWomen-formed teams competed in the Cyber Leaders Challenge, of which 3 made it to the final and one came 3rd. Paid for students to travel to attend events where they are representing the C.I.C., for their own personal and professional benefit. Worked closely with our 2 strategic partners, BT and CGI, to align our activities to the expectations of employers when our students graduate. Worked with community partners, such as Bloomsbury Intelligence Security Institute (BISI) to bring more opportunities to our students. With BISI, our students have the opportunity to learn how to analyse and write cyber articles, and have them published. We also worked with the Cyber Leaders Challenge and other not-for-profit organisations. Created the ‘Future Keynote Series’ - where our students have the opportunity to present in person or in a webinar format on a topic of their choosing that they have an interest in. Furthered our Alumni community into the ‘Next Steps’ community, inclusive of those graduating, Cyberwomen alumni, apprentices and career changers. Continued building our webinar series, ‘Inside Cyber with CyberWomen’ – which is now live on YouTube. Represented the CIC on panels, podcasts and in talks to further our reach in the community.
We have identified the organisation has 3 main groups of stakeholders. 1. The students / executives The student community is the main group of stakeholders for the organisation - they are the motivation behind the CIC and its goals. Last year, we held an anonymous feedback form, and created 3 ‘pillars’ that the CIC would focus on based on the feedback we received. This year, we repeated the process, getting their opinions on if we had met our pillars and advice to shape the ones for the next academic year. We were delighted to find the student majority agreed we had met all our pillars, and 3 new ones have been formed from the feedback we received. These feature expanding our Next Steps community and new ideas for event management within the CIC, including a new Events Manager. Alongside the anonymous feedback form, we do regular check-ins with the students, where they are encouraged to voice ideas and opinions to improve their experience. We do not collect feedback from the students who are only in our discord community server and are not executives. 2. Our Internal team As well as benefitting our students, we ensure that our volunteers gain the skills and experience they desire to further their development. Our internal team also contributes to the anonymous feedback form, so our pillars are formed based on both top-down and bottom-up views of how the CIC operates. In addition to this, all our team had 1-1 role check ins, to make sure they were content and discuss any changes to their role they felt were beneficial. 3. Our Strategic partners Our strategic partners, BT and CGI, have played a pivotal role in our development this year. As well as our quarterly meetings, in June, we all met for an in-person strategy meeting, where we presented our impact report and improvement pillars for 25-26. As well as discussing these documents and the CIC impact through the year, they also fed back to us ideas for growth within our next year, which has included running a public calendar of events, and aligning our events to student-recognised frameworks. We have already begun to address some of these ideas over the summer break, to start in September. 4. Other Other stakeholders, such as our incoming community partners and event partners/attendees, we take feedback from on a more informal basis. This may include verbal feedback which we record and discuss in team calls / directors meetings, or email feedback.
