The Cyber Talent Acceleration Programme (CTAP) is a national initiative by CyberM8 designed to fast-track high-potential cybersecurity and software development talent from TVET Colleges and Universities into South Africa’s public-sector cybersecurity ecosystem.
Powered by the HackSecure Innovation Challenge, CTAP identifies top-performing youth and provides a structured pathway that includes advanced training, international exposure, innovation incubation, certification, and deployment into government systems.
The programme is focused on building locally developed, standards-compliant cybersecurity solutions, while enabling youth to participate meaningfully in the digital economy through employment and enterprise development.
