At the National Cybersecurity Training Academy, we believe that everyone deserves a second chance — especially those who have made mistakes and are working hard to rebuild their lives. With the ever-growing demand for cybersecurity professionals, we see a unique opportunity to help ex-offenders transition into rewarding, long-term careers in a field that offers stability, growth, and opportunity.
We are reaching out to partner with organizations like yours that are dedicated to supporting ex-offenders, homeless individuals, and juveniles in their journey to reintegrate into society. Our initiative, “Second Chances: Empowering Ex-Offenders with Cybersecurity Skills,” is designed to help individuals with a criminal background build a new future through training, certification, and career pathways in cybersecurity.
Why Partner with Us?
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, and it has a unique advantage: it does not require a traditional background to get started. Many ex-offenders face significant barriers to employment, but the cybersecurity field offers a chance to break through those barriers and gain a fresh start.
Through this partnership, we aim to provide a structured pathway for your participants to access high-quality training, obtain industry-recognized certifications, and secure meaningful employment in a high-demand field. Here’s how our program can benefit your organization and the individuals you serve:
What We Offer:
- Comprehensive Cybersecurity Training: Our curriculum covers the fundamentals of cybersecurity, from basic network security to risk management, giving individuals the skills they need to excel in the field.
- Tailored Training for Ex-Offenders: We understand the unique challenges ex-offenders face when re-entering the workforce. Our programs are specifically designed to address these challenges and provide the support necessary to succeed.
- Industry Certifications: We offer guidance on obtaining cybersecurity certifications that are highly valued by employers, such as CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and others that increase employability.
- Job Placement Assistance: Through our network of partner employers, we work to connect graduates with job opportunities that are open to individuals with criminal backgrounds.
- Success Stories: Real-life examples of individuals who have transformed their lives through our program, demonstrating how the combination of training, certifications, and support can lead to a successful career in cybersecurity.
Key Benefits for Your Organization and Clients:
- Increased Employment Outcomes: Cybersecurity is a field with a shortage of qualified professionals, and many employers are open to hiring individuals with a criminal background, especially when they have the right skills and certifications.
- Long-term Career Stability: Unlike many other fields, cybersecurity offers long-term career growth and advancement, providing individuals with a stable income and the opportunity for upward mobility.
- Empowerment Through Education: Your clients will have access to valuable skills training that empowers them to take control of their future, make a positive impact on their communities, and break the cycle of reoffending or homelessness.
- A Pathway to Meaningful Work: By partnering with us, you’re helping your clients gain more than just a job — you’re helping them build a career that offers purpose, dignity, and a sustainable future.
What We Need from You:
We are looking for partner organizations that share our commitment to helping ex-offenders, homeless individuals, and juveniles build better futures. Specifically, we are seeking:
- Access to participants: We want to connect with individuals who could benefit from our program, whether they are currently incarcerated, recently released, or living in transitional housing.
- Support and encouragement: We recognize that starting a new career can be intimidating, and we need partners who are willing to help motivate, encourage, and support participants throughout their learning journey.
- Co-hosting opportunities: We invite you to help us spread the word about our “Second Chances” webinars and training programs, providing access to resources and ongoing support for those who enroll.
Next Steps:
We would love to discuss how we can collaborate to bring this opportunity to your community. Please let us know if you're interested in exploring this partnership further. We are happy to set up a meeting to answer any questions you may have, explain our program in more detail, and explore how we can work together to empower those who are ready for their second chance.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to the possibility of partnering with you to help individuals in need access life-changing cybersecurity career opportunities.
