    How Veterans Can Turn Military Skills Into IT Careers

    Thousands of service members transition out of the military every year with skills that translate directly to IT and cybersecurity careers. The problem? Many don't know how to make their case to civilian employers. This week on Get Into IT Live, we sit down with Grant Gibson, a Marine Corps veteran and lead instructor for MyComputerCareer's Cyber Warrior Program, to talk about bridging the gap between military service and the IT workforce. Grant was recently featured in an article on Military.com where he broke down the reasons why veterans are strong candidates for IT roles and what steps they can take to land them. We’ll talk about why hands-on experience matters more than ever, how the job market is shifting around AI, and what veterans should know before making the jump into their first civilian IT job. Whether you're transitioning out of the military, already on the civilian side and considering a career change, or just getting started with IT training, this one's for you.
