Forage Wants to Help You Learn Cybersecurity Career Skills — For Free
Forage provides learners an opportunity to complete hands-on cybersecurity projects created by companies including: PwC, MasterCard, and JPMorgan Chase.
“How do you land a job without experience? How do you get experience without a job?”
This is an age old question that job-seekers have long struggled with. One potential solution seems to be the ‘Virtual Work Experience’ programs from Forage. Launched in 2017, Forage boasts a catalog of over 200+ self-paced, practical, professional courses for learners — several of which are focused on cybersecurity. Students who participate in Forage’s free cybersecurity courses can expect to learn about: server management, security policies, hardening virtual machines, cyber law, conducting forensics investigations, and more.
Forage’s Head of US Educational Partnerships, Harrison Bass, told AccessCyber: “Forage’s virtual work experiences provide learners with unique insights into career pathways within Fortune 500 Companies, globally. As a former educator, I’ve seen firsthand both the value and the challenge of bridging the gap between the classroom and careers. Forage’s free, open-access platform alllows educators and learners to do so, at scale.“
