Tech and cyber careers for the next generation
Classroom talks and hands-on sessions that show students what a career in IT and cybersecurity looks like, and how to start one.
What it is
Community work rather than a product. Rod has spoken with high school students about careers in IT and cybersecurity, and has worked with the Boys & Girls Club and other organizations to teach technology skills to young people.
Why it matters
AI is changing what entry-level work looks like, and the students in school now will start their careers in the middle of that change. They are better served by meeting people who do the work, and by getting their hands on real tools, than by reading about either.
How it connects to the rest
Preparing the next generation for tech and cyber careers is one of Rod's speaking topics. It also fits the 10-10-10 model at Coulee Tech, which donates 10% of profits to the community organizations its team members are involved in.
