🎖️ From U.S. Air Force Medical Field → Cybersecurity ISSO
Samuel Boakye (Bobby) had zero IT background.
He served in the U.S. Air Force, working in the medical field — but deep down, he knew he wanted a different future when his service ended. A future with more growth, flexibility, and financial opportunity.
While still in the Air Force, Bobby found Eretmis Academy… and made a decision that changed everything.
He didn’t wait.
He didn’t make excuses.
He started preparing before leaving the military.
And the result?
Bobby landed his first cybersecurity role immediately after transitioning out of the Air Force — and today, he works as an Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO).
No IT background.
No guesswork.
Just the right training + real-world experience.
From High School to Cybersecurity Professional
Let’s talk about Naomi’s story…
Naomi didn’t have a degree.
No tech background.
Just a high school diploma and real-life responsibilities — supporting herself and her family.
She was planning for nursing school…
But when she looked at the time, cost, and pressure, she made a bold decision:
She chose a smarter path.
A path that would give her:
✔️ Better work-life balance
✔️ Financial stability
✔️ Long-term career growth
She chose cybersecurity.
Today?
Naomi is a Cyber/Data Privacy Analyst at a law firm in Manhattan, New York.
From the Financial Industry to a Cybersecurity Professional
Joel made a bold transition from the financial industry — with no IT or cybersecurity background — into cybersecurity.
After completing his training, including the Eretmis GRC Workshop/Internship, Joel landed his first role as a Senior Information Analyst. He has been thriving in that role since July 2024 — and he’s an absolute rockstar on the job.
How does someone move from finance into cybersecurity and land a senior-level role as their first position?
It’s a testament to the strategic approach used in the GRC Workshop/Internship. Students don’t just learn how to execute tasks — they learn how to manage projects from a leadership, operational, and managerial perspective.
So whether they step into leadership/strategy roles or implementation roles, they show up prepared and perform at a high level.
