A incredible success story from a veteran breaking into cybersecurity!
What an incredible success story from Whole Cyber Human Initiative Inc. 501(c)(3) of a veteran breaking into cybersecurity. 👏 💻
Steven Dillard, a graduate of the Initiative, was given the option of a Simply Cyber masterclass, swag, or the Haiku product suite for his post-Whole Cyber learning. Already enrolled in a 👉🏼 Gerald Auger, Ph.D. course, he happily chose Haiku.
We couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of his cybersecurity journey. Watch to hear Steven’s amazing story in his own words.
In this video, Whole Cybers CEO/Founder meets with one of the several new graduates of the Whole Cyber Human Initiative Program Steven Dillard.
Steven comes from a robust background. Military, Band, Criminal Justice, and even a part-time IT Help Desk role.
Things Steven calls to heart in this video are the drive, determination, and humbleness of breaking into this industry. Having spent over a year searching through the internet for programs available, he found his home with Whole Cyber Human. They approach the topic of how his band experience had critical skillsets needed in IT/Cyber. Steven talked about the level of character and drive/determination needed to take the journey into tech.
Sit back, give it a watch, and give it a listen, this is a raw unscripted testimonial of what Whole Cyber Human Initiative does and can do for you.
