I'm doing a career change to the tech field and I'm coming off the press, hot and fresh, with absolutely NO tech experience!!! What makes my learning journey great for me is the overwhelming support that I receive from my Accountability Specialist, Khristal and my Accountability Coach, Alec! Khristal and Alec are very supportive and they give me the extra push to keep going when I feel defeated. Whenever I need them I just send a quick email or a chat message to schedule a zoom call. They ALWAYS answers promptly and help me stay on track! I enjoy our zoom check-ins because I don't feel rushed... They take the time to listen to my concerns and my accomplishments! The community chat room within this platform is non-judgemental and everyone genuinely want to see each other succeed! By staying disciplined and positive, I expecting great things out of the program!
I am having a very positive experience with GovTech Academy. The program is well structured, relevant, practical, and delivered by knowledgeable instructors. Having accountable coaches is a game changer in this academy by helping us to stay motivated to acheiving our goals. These coaches also help with a step by step guide to reaching the role you wish to acquire. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in changing their career into cyber security.
My experience with GovTech Academy was great because of how practical and career focused the program felt. The instructors didn’t just teach theory, but they made sure we understood how to apply concepts in real world IT and cybersecurity scenarios. That hands on approach made the learning more engaging and valuable.

I entered GovTech’s VIP circle with a robust foundation already in place. Having worked in cybersecurity since early 2021, I currently serve as an Information Systems Security Engineer (ISSE) for the Department of War. My credentials include a Top Secret (SCI) with Full Scope Poly, three industry certifications, a Master’s in Cybersecurity, and I am currently pursuing my Doctorate at Marymount University.Any significant professional progress I’ve made happened before I joined the VIP circle. Much of my current work and trajectory was already "in the works long before I signed up. I joined primarily out of curiosity to see what the GovTech ecosystem was all about. Overall, my experience has been very positive:• The Weekly Calls: These are the highlight. There is immense value in hearing folks share their real-world ideas and experiences navigating the current cybersecurity job market.• Tools & Resources: The program provides a solid suite of resources that are genuinely useful for those looking to sharpen their edge or break into specific niches. If you are looking for a community of practice where you can exchange ideas and access a curated library of resources, GovTech is excellent. It’s a great "pulse check" on the industry. However, if you are already a high-cleared, advanced-degree professional, view this as a networking and supplemental tool rather than a foundational one. It’s a great place to stay sharp, even if you’ve already carved out your path.
It's been reassuring with the coaching calls and zoom meetings. Making time to jump into the modules even if it's a short learning it keeps my momentum of taking the right step forward to my goal. Tatiana's been very helpful with her own experiences in the learning modules and the genuine approach towards the govtech program.
The resume review and interview coaching is very strong. Having an accountability coach is also great.One thing that could be improved is job search coaching. Most of the coaching emphasizes people who already have a security clearance, which is not my situation personally.I hoped that after I got my Security+ certification I would be able to transition into a role relatively quickly, but that hasn't been the case, and it's been quite a long process. Factors that have influenced this, I must acknowledge, are beyond Govtech Academy's control.
The consistent support of the coaches and members is what helps to keep me focused as well as reminding me that there are multiple ways to reach a goal. And once that goal is reached, you can still do better. Weekly calls allotted for studying and interview prep from folks that are in the industry is helpful, especially when those prepping you hold leadership roles.
