IT's Not Just for the Boys: An Insight into UK Intelligence Services

Made up of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ, the UK Intelligence Services work together to safeguard Britain’s people, interests and businesses from threats at home, overseas and online including cyber-attacks, espionage, terrorism and organised crime.

The ethos behind It’s Not Just for the Boys is that tech needs diverse minds and nowhere is that truer than within the UK Intelligence Services. There’s no single “type” of person who works here. Different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking are essential to tackling complex challenges and helping to keep the UK safe.

This one-hour webinar may be short, but it’ll be packed with exclusive insights and opportunities. You’ll hear directly from a panel of professionals working across the UK Intelligence Services, gain an inside look at the careers and opportunities opening up soon, and learn more about the application process.

There’ll also be a live Q&A session, giving you the chance to ask your questions and hear first-hand what it’s really like to work within MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.

To top it off targetjobs will be running competitions throughout the session giving three students who stay engaged and actively participate the chance to win a £25 Amazon voucher!

We’re here to challenge outdated assumptions, support your ambitions, and help you understand whether you see a place for yourself in the UK Intelligence Services. Your ideas, your identity, your future - they all belong here.
