Wawiwa and Tech Spark Training Partner to Reskill and Upskill France to Cybersecurity

On January 29th, 2025, Wawiwa Tech signed a new partnership with Tech Spark Training to offer reskilling and upskilling cyber security programs to professionals and enterprises in France. This partnership marks a significant step towards addressing the country’s growing demand for cybersecurity talent.

Partnership Signing Ceremony

Cybersecurity has become a top priority for businesses and organizations worldwide, and France is no exception. In 2024, cybercrime cost the country an estimated $129 billion, highlighting the urgent need for skilled cybersecurity professionals. As cyber threats continue to evolve, the demand for experts who can protect businesses, governments, and individuals from digital attacks is rapidly increasing. The French cybersecurity market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.29% from 2025 to 2030, reflecting the critical need for trained professionals who can safeguard sensitive data and digital infrastructure.

Wawiwa Tech, a global leader in reskilling and upskilling people to tech and business jobs in high demand, offers its local partners, like Tech Spark Training, career-oriented tech training programs that incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and tools.

Tech Spark Training will offer Wawiwa’s cybersecurity programs, including reskilling programs such as Cybersecurity Analyst and IT and SOC Analyst, along with shorter upskilling courses for professionals seeking to advance their expertise. 

These cybersecurity training programs cater to professionals at all levels. Beginners looking to break into the field can enroll in the reskilling programs that acquire the technical skills, hands-on experience, and advanced real-world cyber labs for practice, needed for a successful career transition.

For those already working in IT or cybersecurity, Wawiwa offers upskilling courses that cover emerging threats, best practices, and advanced cyber security tools. These courses help professionals stay ahead of cyber risks, improve efficiency with cutting-edge technologies, and enhance their ability to protect businesses from evolving threats.

Tech Spark Training was co-founded by David Sapiro and Pierre Husson, bringing together expertise in digital transformation and cybersecurity. David, with his experience in Cloud deployment, advanced outsourcing, and technology risk management, has founded and led multiple companies dedicated to supporting digital transformation. Pierre, with over 30 years of experience in web development and cybersecurity, brings strategic and pedagogical expertise to the company. Their deep industry expertise and commitment to excellence make them the ideal partner for Wawiwa Tech, ensuring that cybersecurity professionals in France receive world-class training that aligns with the latest industry demands.

At the signing ceremony, David Sapiro said:

"We are convinced that continuous training and innovation, especially through upskilling and reskilling, are key to addressing tomorrow's digital challenges. By offering programs aligned with market requirements, we aim to strengthen the capabilities of IT professionals and to help companies secure their digital infrastructures."
