With respect to certifications, it's our goal to deliver a suite of internationally recognized certifications from established third party cybersecurity training organizations. These are well known in the marketplace. These are entities like SANS, EC-Council and Palo Alto. There are lots of different providers that offer these and we are engaged in developing partnerships quite intensively with SANS and EC-Council to deliver these courses.
This really goes to the posture of Cybersecure Catalyst, which is industry-focused. We are very much interested in supporting the Canadian cybersecurity industry through the partnerships that we've discussed with academia and, obviously, through collaboration with the government. The cybersecurity sector in Canada promises to be one of the best in the world, and it can be one of the best in the world. We're going to work extremely hard to support that. We are aiming for those kinds of industry-focused certifications.
In terms of numbers, we have a five-year model out with respect to the introductory courses, that is, bringing demographic groups that are under-represented in cyber into the sector. We're looking at approximately 500. In terms of the work that we're going to be doing with our private sector partners, that will be in the thousands. In terms of engagement with young people, that will be, we hope, in the tens of thousands. Cybersecurity is a big problem and the numbers that we need to reach in order to have a material impact on this issue are large.
That's the ambition for this centre.
