As technology advances and our world faces new challenges, Australia’s intelligence and cyber capabilities are increasingly important – and jobs in cyber security and tech are crucial to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all Australians.
We recently asked our audience some questions about careers in cyber security and signals intelligence, as well as the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), who work in the foreign signals intelligence and cyber security space.
87% of respondents said they had never heard of the Australian Signals Directorate and 91% said they don’t know what the ASD do to protect Australians. However, 35% of people we asked said they would be interested in a career in cyber security or signals intelligence.
Additionally, 44% of people said that unique, challenging and rewarding work is the most important thing when choosing a career, more than a competitive salary (24%), broad career paths (11%) and getting real-world experience (21%). Working at ASD ticks all those boxes.
As the Australian Government’s cyber experts, ASD uses tech in unexpected ways to help ensure Australia’s national security. Whether it’s in foreign signals intelligence, cyber security or offensive cyber operations, a career at ASD provides so many opportunities for growth.
It’s an exciting, rewarding career path that makes a huge difference to the lives and security of Australians (even if we’re unaware of it).
ASD’s apprenticeship and cadetship programs provide amazing opportunities for school leavers to start their career with unique and meaningful work.
So, if your son is curious, imaginative and ready to take on any challenge, or has shown interest in IT, computing or cyber security, it’s worth talking to them about opportunities to start their career at ASD.
Applications are open now until 7 April 2024. You can learn more about ASD’s entry-level programs here.
