Accelerated Cybersecurity Training Program

“The cybersecurity program gave me a comprehensive look into cybersecurity from many perspectives, both theoretical and in practice. The program really encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, both in terms of challenging myself to learn a completely new field and in terms of job searching, like interviewing skills, resume writing and reaching out to people. I learned a lot about cybersecurity and it was hugely helpful for my job search.”

"I had been job hunting since March 2020. Due to the pandemic there wasn't much happening [...] The program helped me build a good network. I discovered where I was going wrong with my resume and I learnt how to become industry-ready."

"The best thing about the program was the industry connections. I would not have had a good chance of getting a job in cybersecurity without them. The staff were very supportive and there were many job-hunting sessions which focused on interview skills, building my resume, networking, etc. The staff were also helpful after the program finished, talking through interview strategies that suited my personality."

"The most challenging thing for me to work on was my soft skills (clear communication, manners, self-promotion). Through career coaching, I learnt that I have both the technical and interpersonal skills need to be a cybersecurity professional. I never would have landed this job without the Palette x Fields community."

"The community that we were a part of definitely played a big role in my experience. I got to know how important connections actually are for job searching. The program staff was very supportive and guest sessions were very enjoyable and informative. I got to know what people actually do in various aspects of the industry."
