Cybersecurity Mock Role Player – University Students (Pen Test Simulation Experience)

Location: [Location / Remote]
Type: Casual / Volunteer Opportunity (paid/Expenses-based — adjust as applicable)

About the Opportunity

We're looking for university students interested in cybersecurity to take part in a upcoming security simulation exercise. This is a hands-on opportunity to get exposure to real-world security testing scenarios by acting as mock role players within a simulated environment.

Due to the confidential nature of the exercise, full details of the simulation, client, and scope cannot be shared publicly. Selected participants will receive a full briefing directly before the activity begins.

What You'll Do

Participants will be assigned a role within a simulated scenario and asked to respond naturally as that character would, helping test how systems, processes, or people react under realistic conditions. No prior professional experience is required — this is an entry-level, experience-building opportunity aimed specifically at students.

Who We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled university students (any year), ideally studying cybersecurity, IT, computer science, or a related field
• Curious, reliable, and comfortable following instructions in a structured exercise
• Able to maintain confidentiality throughout and after the activity
• No certifications or prior industry experience needed

What You'll Gain

• Practical exposure to how cybersecurity testing exercises are run
• A behind-the-scenes look at real simulation methodology
• Experience to add to your CV and talk about in future interviews
• Networking opportunity with cybersecurity professionals
