Success Stories

Hear from our graduates about how our programs transformed their careers

JM

Jennifer Martinez

Cybersecurity Analyst

The Purdue University Northwest CWCT program completely transformed my career trajectory. After working in general IT for five years, I was looking to specialize in cybersecurity but didn't know where to start. The hands-on training and industry-focused curriculum gave me exactly what I needed to make the transition. Within three months of completing the program, I secured a position as a Cybersecurity Analyst at Midwest Financial Services with a 35% salary increase. The mentorship from industry professionals was invaluable, and the network I built through the coalition continues to support my professional growth.

Michael Washington

Security Operations Manager

As someone transitioning from military service to civilian employment, I found the Purdue University Northwest CWCT program to be the perfect bridge. The program recognized my military experience and helped me translate those skills into cybersecurity competencies valued by employers. The certification preparation was thorough, and I passed both my Security+ and CISSP exams on the first attempt. The coalition's employer partnerships were crucial - I was hired through a direct referral from one of their industry partners. Three years later, I'm now managing a security operations team and regularly return to CWCT as a guest speaker to help other veterans make similar transitions.

Sarah Johnson

Information Security Specialist

I was working as a nurse when I became interested in healthcare cybersecurity after our hospital experienced a ransomware attack. The Purdue University Northwest CWCT program offered a specialized healthcare cybersecurity track that was perfect for my background. The instructors understood both the technical and regulatory aspects of healthcare security, which was exactly what I needed. The program's flexible schedule allowed me to continue working while studying, and the coalition's connections helped me land an information security role specifically in healthcare. I now work protecting patient data and medical systems, combining my clinical knowledge with my new cybersecurity skills.
