Evan – Cyber Security

September 16, 2016

“I now see my future in Networking instead of Cyber Security because of the multiple opportunities for growth! My life has changed and I’m in a better place overall to help my family and career. I’m now looking forward to making an impact in my new role with World Bank, thanks to UPO!”

Meet Evan. He’s experienced it! Like many of our IT training students, Evan had never worked in the IT field but knew that’s where he wanted to be. He was enrolled in undergraduate studies at an out-of-state university but was forced to drop out in order to assist his mother with her medical needs. Once he returned home, he found employment in the fast food industry but it was not fulfilling his desire for a career. With a little help from social media and a lot of prayer, Evan’s mom was able to connect him to our YouthTech IT Training program.  According to Evan, “my background was in Science and Technology and I was pursuing studies in Cyber Security so this was a perfect fit.”

Evan is a 2015 graduate of YouthTech IT Help Desk program and works full time as a Tier Two Service Desk Analyst with World Bank! In this role, he provides IT customer support to users all over the world! He is UPO!
