Global talent and training provider, mthree, and award-winning provider, CAPSLOCK, have launched a joint venture to close the cyber skills gap and defend against rising threats.

Amid a wave of high-profile security breaches impacting major organisations, the partnership will deliver job-ready professionals to the businesses that need them most – accelerating response times, strengthening resilience, and reducing risk.

The initiative combines mthree’s enterprise-focused Hire-Train-Deploy model with CAPSLOCK’s immersive, outcomes-driven training to build a first-of-its-kind talent ecosystem. Designed to meet urgent workforce demands, it provides tailored pathways into cyber security for graduates, career changers, and experienced professionals.

Participants receive immersive cyber training and are deployed directly into a wide range of roles, helping organisations reduce exposure to cyber risk, meet regulatory requirements, and build long-term resilience across technology, banking, retail, and public sectors.

The partnership offers tailored training programmes for Fortune 500 and global organisations seeking to expand their cyber capabilities, retain high-potential talent, and proactively reduce operational risk at scale.

“Cyber security is no longer optional - it’s critical,” said Dr Andrea Cullen, CEO & Co-founder of CAPSLOCK. “This partnership with mthree expands our reach and impact, helping organisations access the specialist talent they need to stay secure, while empowering diverse individuals from all walks of life to build careers in cyber.”

The joint venture will also help to address specialised talent shortages, with mthree’s Diversity in Tech report indicating that the most notable skill gaps for entry-level hires are in software engineering (62%), data science (47%), and cyber security (41%)

Alex Headley, CEO of mthree, commented: “Our clients are under unprecedented pressure to mitigate cyber attacks and boost resilience as security breaches continue to make headlines. By blending our proven talent experience with CAPSLOCK’s cyber security expertise, we’re building a pipeline of job-ready professionals ready to hit the ground running and make tangible impacts to mitigate business risk.”

The integrated offering is now live in the UK and North America, with additional rollouts planned through 2025 and 2026.
