Platform development
Building DIVD.Works
Students help build the platform itself by developing tools, writing documentation, improving workflows, and helping run the organization.
Practice
Projects
DIVD Academy learners work on real projects that help them build practical security and IT skills in a supportive environment. One of the current project examples is the platform work behind DIVD.Works itself.
Programmes we contribute to
Digitaal Veilig Den Haag
Together with the municipality of The Hague and local organizations we work on the digital safety of the city: free hacking courses, internships and routes into IT for young people who are underrepresented in the sector.
LearningLion
An open-source Dutch language model for government use, built with SSC-ICT using retrieval-augmented generation. The Academy contributes research capacity, model development and the privacy and security requirements.
Global Universities
A research project led by CSIRT.global that finds and helps fix security vulnerabilities at universities worldwide, through ethical hacking, risk assessment and direct contact with the institutions.
DIVD.Works
The platform that connects young digital talent with employers, so finding an internship or graduation placement does not become the reason someone drops out.
DIVD.Works: the practical placement partner
DIVD.Works is the platform that connects Academy graduates and trainees with organizations offering real project work. DIVD Academy focuses on teaching the skills; DIVD.Works focuses on matching that talent to practical opportunities. The two are connected but distinct organizations.
