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.
