Government spy agency GCSB out to attract more women to world of espionage

November 22, 2017

Just 36 per cent of the agency's staff are women, and it's trying to improve that by offering scholarships.

The Government spy agency GCSB is offering scholarships in a bid to attract more women into the world of espionage and cyber-sleuthing.

The first of the $10,000 awards have gone to women studying science, technology engineering and maths.

The scholarships come as the agency looks to correct its gender imbalance, with just 36 per cent of its staff being female.

The recipients are not obliged to work for the GCSB.
