Technical training in cybersecurity

Overview

During my tenure at Thinkful, I led a project that bridged the gap between employers and employees in technical skills. Partnering with companies like Lowes, Target, Walmart, Kroger, Lowes, and Five Guys, we offered no-cost, career-aligned technical education programs to their associates, addressing their hiring challenges.

By conducting thorough need-finding, I designed Thinkful's first modular program, enabling students to enter and exit at different proficiency levels, offering a customizable experience tailored to individual needs. In alignment with best practices in adult learning theory, I emphasized self-paced learning, experiential education through simulation, and mentorship throughout the program.

The program's success was evident as enrollment exceeded expectations and positive feedback poured in. Learners advanced to new careers and pursued higher education opportunities, showcasing the transformative power of tailored education and industry collaborations.
