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.
