For many companies, cybersecurity awareness training often times can be like giving someone a fire extinguisher...and hoping they read the manual during the blaze🔥 Awareness is great...but when things go wrong, your team needs more than “don’t click the link.” (Although…you're going to have to click the link to read our thoughts! 😂) Read our latest take on moving beyond awareness: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gmdWaDkz PS: If your password is still “password123,” we really need to talk… #CyberCapability #WorkforceDevelopment #MCBI #DigitalResilience #Leadership

This morning’s MEGT (Australia) Ltd Productivity Prospectus breakfast delivered what our sector urgently needs: honest, evidence-based conversation about skills development, backed by powerful and pragmatic solutions. The stark reality: Apprenticeship commencements have fallen to their lowest point on record - 30% lower than a decade ago. The current models aren’t working, and we need to be prepared to evolve. The opportunity: An achievable uplift over the next decade could deliver: • 320,000 additional completions • $26.2 billion in combined economic benefits • 3x return on a $4-5 billion investment Why it matters: • 92% of apprentices secure jobs related to their training • 63% of young people on income support exit within 2 years of completing an apprenticeship The solution: Workforce development requires more than financial incentives. It demands comprehensive employer support - workplace supervisor training, tailored mentoring, and structured onboarding support are essential to unlock participation. Ken Hinkley’s insights resonated deeply - as one of ten kids he understands firsthand that grit is paramount in apprenticeships as it is in football. Success requires persistence, support, and the right environment to thrive. At MCBI, we’re committed to building skills and enabling capability uplift for businesses of all sizes through workforce development that contributes positively to the country’s economy. Well done to MEGT (Australia) Ltd for forward-thinking leadership and using data to drive genuine solutions. Thank you to Ja Turnbull and the team for the invitation.
