Help build the future of ICT: NEW GEN ICT

You thought: challenger? What does that mean? Is that something for me? Curious as you are, you read on and that (besides passion for ICT, duh) is exactly the characteristic that drives our students and colleagues. And when you think of working in education, do you immediately think of packed lecture halls or a classroom with a chalkboard and your spirits sink in? CTRL+A+DEL; because that is exactly NOT what working at Fontys means!

  • There is a class, but you are in the middle of it;
  • There is a classroom, only without walls and with labs and the latest tech & gadgets;
  • There are classes, but in them you listen to or spar with your students (whom you get to nicely challenge with fat and innovative projects);
  • You work with students, challenging, stimulating and inspiring them. As a challenger, you are also the expert who manages, coaches, connects and researches.

 

Cyber Security has become indispensable in today's IT world. In all IT areas, it is important to consider security aspects. This involves protecting computing environments from security threats such as cybercriminals, hackers, malware, but also, for example, countering or investigating fraud. Technical aspects play an important role, but non-technical aspects such as threat and risk analysis, compliance with relevant legislation, and attention to user awareness must also be taken into account.

 

As a teacher and coach, you guide students in their development, towards positions such as ethical hacker and pen-tester, security analyst and security engineer. You will help them strengthen their security skills, but also help them become better professionals and researchers. You will work with them as a teacher/coach, supervising personal and group projects, also giving workshops and practical instruction, and holding regular personal progress meetings with your students.

 

Shaping the ICT and ICT workers of tomorrow together. NEW GEN ICT is what we call it. In short, you will make the difference in a job in which your knowledge and talent have maximum scope and where you also continue to learn. Making an impact on society, your students and yourself. Can you feel it already?

Challenge them. Challenge yourself.

If you are curious, at Fontys ICT you will find the environment and people that reward that. Actively participate in research and education projects, follow courses, visit events, think up innovative solutions and keep developing yourself. As an ICT professional, as a human being and as a shaper of NEW GEN ICT.
