Growing up, I had never really worked in IT before. I had dabbled with computer builds and worked at a cell phone store as a sales rep, but that was as close as it got to getting into a tech career.

At my last job, I had been working as a trucker in the tri-state area and hated it!

That’s when I found CYBERPRO. When I enrolled into the CYBERPRO Accelerator, I quickly got to work…

I started learning the training material, attending all the weekly mentorship calls they offered and within 2 months began interviewing for a job and receive an offer letter for an entry-level positioning working with the DevSecOps team.

The CYBERPRO Accelerator is no joke.

They start you off with some introductory material to get you familiar with IT principles and concepts, then transition you into learning about cybersecurity in preparation for your role in security engineering.

Once done there, you’ll pivot into your training in the cloud and doing projects to learn how to secure it…

I had never been to college and completed it. I honestly had no idea a career in IT, much less cybersecurity could be possible without college or a load of certifications.

But Nick and his team over at CYBERPRO really worked with me over the time I was in the program to understand everything that I needed to learn to land the role.
