The World of Haiku Is More Than A Game
First off, thank you for your interest and support in the World of Haiku!
Our team has worked tirelessly to create a truly gamified system that teaches real-world cybersecurity skills. Our mission has always been to lower the barrier of entry in cybersecurity training so that even a complete novice can develop advanced hacking skills.
These skills can then be honed in our upcoming product, Haiku Pro, which will allow you to earn badges that you can place on your LinkedIn account as well as prepare you with the hands-on skills necessary for a career in cybersecurity.
While you are honing these cyberskills and earning these badges we will be showing you jobs that require your specific, newly-acquired cyberskills with our upcoming product feature, Haiku Job Connect Plus. Our Haiku Skillz resume will allow you to display these skills to potential employers in a way that shows them you have what it takes to immediately add value to their company.
After our upcoming product releases and features, we'll be expanding World of Haiku itself with additional DLCs, including a free DLC with some exciting new features we'll be releasing in Q3 2022 (including tab-complete! We heard you!).
