I wanted to say thank you! I was a student 4 years ago at the University of Miami and started my career through you guys. I was a server at a restaurant and now I am successful cybersecurity professional making well over 6 figures. This opportunity has changed my life and I just want to say thank you! I am now also an associate instructor for you guys! I really appreciate it!

Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp Learner at NJIT
I became a new mom [single parent] right in the beginning of the pandemic. I just worked in the medical field all my life and don’t have any other background or degrees in any other field.
Just knowing that I wanted something more and knowing that I had such a great team of instructors and staff at NJIT backing me is really what pushed me. Wanting a better career, wanting more flexibility. This is a gateway to so many different aspects of the field.
David M.
Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp Learner at NJIT
As soon as I did the introductory course, I knew this was going to be a life-changing course. I am recently married. My wife works a lot and she’s been supporting me since I lost my job. And I just want a better life for us and eventually kids and everything like that. I definitely should have done this sooner without a doubt. It’s been one of the best experiences of my life.
Sponsor the Future
Our goal is to partner with like-minded entities who want to contribute to providing educational opportunities to individuals in need and underrepresented in the cyber workforce. Together, we’ll be addressing one of our nation’s most critical challenges – the cybersecurity workforce shortage – while also building the economic stability of communities in need.
