#MyCyberJob #CyberCareerWeek
October 18-23, 2021
Welcome to Day 4 of Cybersecurity
Career Awareness Week!
Military Veterans are well positioned to transition into cybersecurity work roles. Whether they have direct military experience with information security or possibly possess a highly desirable security clearance (or ability to qualify for a clearance), our nation's military veterans are increasingly recognized as an attractive talent pool for cybersecurity roles.
Are you a military veteran or do you know a veteran who might be interested in a cybersecurity career? From training programs and scholarships to tutorials on how to translate your skills, there are a plethora of resources available to help with the transition to civilian life and join the cybersecurity workforce.
