With ever-advancing technologies, and the subsequent developing threats, it’s crucial that we invest in future skills through a culture of continuous learning to meet those challenges head-on and help our clients to secure their digital assets.
What it means to NCC Group
We are a diverse, global community of talented and creative individuals, working together and united by the same goal – to help create a more secure digital future.
We harness our collective insight, intelligence and innovation to power end-to-end cyber services that protect our clients from cyber threat. These are core elements of our DNA, which began back in the 1990s and give us our position in the market that no one else can match – all achieved through our investment in the critical skills to deliver for our clients.
Our approach to talent development
We create a culture of learning at NCC Group, which, depending on the role, will typically be a combination of on the job learning through line management support and skills-based mentoring, self-learning where colleagues have access to resources, and formal training – for example, supporting colleagues in gaining certifications relevant to their role and client requirements as well as personal development.
It’s critical that we are agile in adapting to new challenges and continuous assessment of necessary skills drives our talent development and attraction plans.
Our progress
Our embedded performance management process plays an important role in supporting colleagues’ personal development opportunities, while providing role purpose and clarity.
Career paths guide options for colleagues and our commitment to internal mobility and the open approach to vacancies support our ambition to retain our talented teams and enhance careers within the Group.
Our new office in Manila, the Philippines, is a great example of our approach to talent development. Colleagues from other countries were actively involved in training new hires through secondments – not just in technical delivery for clients, but also in growing the full service offering – from procurement, HR and finance, for example.
In the last financial year, sponsored by our CEO, we launched our new leadership development programme. Over 60 senior leaders from across our global business undertook the two day workshop, with additional coaching support sessions as a follow-up. The aim is to create a common language for leadership at NCC Group, and this builds on our existing Managing Essentials courses for managers.
Our future and ambitions
We have invested in a new Learning Experience Platform, which will be embedded in this current financial year (ending 30 September 2025). This will provide an enhanced learning experience for colleagues as well as support our management development programme through formal personal development plans. It will also enable us to measure and report on the training investment we make across our global teams.
By investing in our people, we position ourselves as a market leader in Cyber Security, delivering effective solutions for our clients. We look forward, using our insight, innovation and intelligence to meet the most complex of Cyber Security challenges head on.
We will continue to contribute to the broader challenge, beyond individual client challenges, by engaging and collaborating with regulatory bodies, governments and industry organisations, participating and leading in discussions on Cyber Security policy and raising awareness of cyber threats.
