Success Stories

Bryner Amparo

Young man that joined cyberwarrior for an internship, he talked about the importance that CyberWarrior had in his professional development. This kind of educational experience, with an organization that offers on-hand experience with real life problems, is unreachable if not by the work that CyberWarrior does every day. 

Conclusions  

One of the most important impacts that CyberWarrior has is to give an educational opportunity to young men and women that never had this kind of opportunities. The resources we offer can change a life and offer a chance to reduce the inequality gap in an effective way, by this we contribute in the building of a space for development. 

We need to find more cases that talk about the impact, of our interaction, in young men and women that live in a vulnerable state, success cases, internships with big enterprises, etc. This in order to show living proof of the impact that education has on the reduction of the inequality gap.

Tek Synap Desktop Support Representative 

Before entering CyberWarrior she was serving in the military for 10 years. She was searching for a career opportunity where there could be flexibility and that offered an opportunity to be around her family. 

The CyberWarrior Bootcamp helped her to access tools, knowledge, mentors and opportunities she would never have had if she hadn’t taken our programs. 

She emphasizes the help that supplemental classwork and studies that were immediately applicable in a professional scenario. Also, she thinks that the reason she succeeded in the program was all the help, advice and training with professional and capable teachers that CyberWarrior offered.
