HEAR FROM OUR GRADUATES

From Cyber Academy to Cyber Professionals

“The most rewarding aspect of the program for me was really just being able to validate my tech skills and to get a job. I had a job by the time I finished the program.”

–Sara E. | Cyber Academy Grad
“It’s a very unique program. I actually had a previous college experience, and it doesn’t even compare. Not a lot of colleges are on military bases, so you get to see things you don’t see very often. Not only that, but the curriculum is unique as well. It’s very close knit, and after school is over you maintain those relationships.”

–James G. | Cyber Academy Grad
“If you are self-motivated, you have a passion for technology, you’ll get a really good start to your career. We had an opportunity on multiple occasions to go out to the different venues here at Muscatatuck — the jail, the water treatment plant, the smart house — and we had an opportunity to see how those work and actually interact with them.”

–Jonathan L. | Cyber Academy Grad
