Members of our IT team recently had the rewarding opportunity to engage with students from the Cybersecurity – Networking Fundamentals class at KIPP Academy. During the session, Brentley Catoe, IT Security Manager, and Ron Womble, VP Chief Information Officer, shared their personal career journeys and educational backgrounds, providing the students with a comprehensive view of the diverse paths available within the IT industry. They highlighted key certifications that students can pursue immediately after high school to qualify for entry-level IT positions, emphasizing practical steps toward launching a career in technology.
The students were deeply engaged, actively asking questions and showing enthusiasm for the topics discussed. Their curiosity and interest highlighted the value of connecting industry professionals with young learners.
Brentley and Ron’s presentation was not only informative but also inspiring. The event was a testament to the impact that real-world insights and mentorship can have on students preparing to enter the workforce.
