Breaking Into Cybersecurity: Real Stories from Recent Graduates

Breaking into cyber can feel overwhelming but it doesn't have to be!  Kicking off your cyber career can feel overwhelming but with the right guidance and real-world insights, you'll be better prepared than you think. As part of NICE Cybersecurity Career Week, join Karen Wetzel, Director of the NICE Program at NIST, as she sits down with recent graduates from the SANS EDU Undergraduate Program and SANS Cyber Academies for an honest, real-world conversation about what it takes to launch a career in cyber. 

Hear directly from those who recently made the leap including how they landed their first roles, the steps they took to make themselves as marketable as possible, and the advice they wish they had when they were just starting out. Whether you are a current student, a career changer, or just exploring the field, this is your chance to get actionable insights from people who were sitting exactly where you are not long ago. 

You will walk away with: 

• Real strategies for making yourself stand out in a competitive job market
• Honest perspectives on what worked and what they would do differently
• A clear picture of the career pathways available and how to pursue them

This webinar's goal is to provide you with actionable steps to build your career, prepare you to be as marketable as possible, and set you up for success when pursuing your first cyber job.
