What stood out most to Jamie was the program\u2019s hands-on learning approach. As someone who learns best by doing, the labs became a critical part of her journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The lab environment allowed me to perform hands-on activities to further my learning. This is invaluable to me as a hands-on learner,\" she explains. With the practical experience under her belt, Jamie feels more prepared for the next chapter of her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know now that I\u2019m ready to transition into this field and begin my career in Cybersecurity.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
