Are you curious about how to kickstart a career in IT or cybersecurity? In this class, we'll explore how you can get started in this exciting field! I'll share my journey into IT and provide actionable advice for students such as things they can do in high school, college, and beyond to be successful. We'll discuss essential skills, certifications, and internships to help you stand out. We’ll also dive into alternative paths, like bootcamps, self-learning, and non-traditional routes that lead to successful IT careers. To wrap up, you’ll create your own personalized "IT Goals Bingo" sheet, a fun and interactive way to set milestones for your journey into the tech world. This class is perfect for tech-curious students ready to take their first steps into IT and cybersecurity! Whether you dream of becoming a coder, a cybersecurity analyst, or an ethical hacker, this session will help you map out your unique path.
