"I always thought that IT and computers were out of reach for me unless I went through university. Coding for Veterans has allowed me to gain new skills and knowledge and I have successfully obtained my CCNA, LPI Linux Fundamentals and (ISC)2 Certified in Cybersecurity. Thank you to Coding for Veterans."
"I have been able to adapt the lessons learned from my military service and the skills learned through the Coding for Veterans program and apply them as a student. I was then provided the opportunity to come back to Coding for Veterans and utilize those same skillsets as an instructor. Coding for Veterans has put me on a path I truly don't believe I would have been on without it."
"Retiring from the military didn’t mean the end of the road, but the beginning of another chapter. In the process of reinventing myself professionally, I recognized the possible rewards that Coding for Veterans could assist me with in realizing my full potential into another exciting career."
"Residing in rural Nova Scotia, any of the limited education or training options were logistically difficult to access and most catered to the more recent high school graduate as opposed to a typical organized, goal-oriented, self-starting veteran looking to transition quickly. In all respects the Coding for Veterans software development program proved to be an ideal fit for me and has put me on a solid second career path where otherwise, I truly believe I would still be out there looking."
