Royal Signals launches transformational training system known as upskilling as part of Caduceus. Upskilling will ensure that junior soldiers receive the best possible training, tailored to their own role, experience and career aspirations, to industry-standard qualification levels. Caduceus will be transformational for Royal Signals soldiers and officers, will provide huge efficiencies for the Corps and will create a wealth of professionally-qualified people. It will prepare the Corps and its people for the demands of the modern cyber battlefield.
The world in which the Royal Signals operates is constantly evolving, both in terms of the threats faced and the technology that underpins their role. To face these challenges, Corps' personnel must be trained to the best industry standards in the most efficient way possible. The Royal Signals have created Caduceus to transform the way their soldiers and officers are trained, focusing on the individual to build a tailored package that maximises both their own potential and their effectiveness within the team.
Capt Gaz MacKenzie, of Project Caduceus said, "Through this package all our soldiers can be confident that they will have the knowledge and skills, built upon by experience gained on the job, to be able to operate in any environment across our range of capabilities within the Royal Signals. Upskilling complimented with steady state training and development will ensure that our soldiers remain challenged and ready to provide communications worldwide."
"When we explain the project to more senior soldiers, their usual reaction is 'I wish this was around when I joined'"
As the British Army's cyber, IT and communications experts, the Royal Signals have a long history of working with partners in civilian industry, the importance of which has increased in recent years. Caduceus upskilling has been created in partnership with Bluescreen IT, a sector-leading virtual and classroom learning company specialising in IT and cyber security training.
Ben Franklin, the Chief Tech Officer at BluescreenIT said “BluescreenIT are very privileged to be providing the digital upskilling requirements of Royal Signals soldiers through project CADUCEUS. Through our continued dedication to the Armed Forces Covenant we are proud to support this amazing opportunity.
