In last week's episode we talked about how security professionals can leverage their skills to get into cyber, but how do you obtain those skills in the first place? Enter Jonathan Slater, co-founder of CapsLock and our guest for today.

In this episode, we discuss his journey from nuclear, to recruitment, to co-founding a disruptive education model that's designed to help everyone from bus drivers to web developers gain a qualification - and most importantly, employment - in cybersecurity.

We also take a deep dive into how candidates can make themselves more attractive to hiring managers, diversity in cyber, and the benefits of starting all over again.
