Thank you to our cybersecurity community partners! 🤝 Key to WMCAT’s Adult Career Training Program is the pairing of classroom learning with social capital building, personal and professional development, and industry connections. In addition to their technical training, students are regularly interacting with local professionals from companies supporting the 2024 Cybersecurity pathway as community and employer partners: Acrisure, Consumers Energy, Corewell Health, and Meijer. These companies are partnering with WMCAT and our students to bridge the transition from training to thriving-wage careers. Thank you! ➡️ Read more about how our community comes together to bridge the gap between classroom and career at wmcat.org/partners.
