The three-month Cybint bootcamp successfully prepares people with little or no IT background to be eligible for entry level positions in cybersecurity – one of the most in-demand fields in tech. Its curriculum follows several global skills frameworks, including the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) framework.

“At SNHU GEM, we are always looking for new, innovative ways to help our refugee and displaced learners gain the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly complex global economy,” said Chrystina Russell, the Executive Director of the SNHU GEM program. “We are thrilled to team up with Cybint to offer this remote bootcamp to our learners. This new opportunity will not only help these learners grow their strengths, but it will also empower them to transform their lives and communities for the better.”
