At the time, the program didn&rsquo;t have open enrollment, so I had to wait until <strong>January 2020</strong> to get started.</p> <p>My goal was clear: gain the foundational skills and credibility needed to transition into a cybersecurity career. Although COVID hitted the same year and disrupted job prospects, the knowledge and skills I gained helped me secure an <strong>IT position</strong> later on. In hindsight, this program was a meaningful step in my professional growth.</p>
