"After serving in the Air Force and receiving a B.S. in mathematics it became evident to me that I wanted to pursue a career in IT. I had the drive, the work ethic, the education and the skill set obtained from the military but I lacked experience and some technical skills required to get more than a glance from hiring managers. Then when I literally thought all hope was lost, I came into contact with Halcyon Solutions. Halcyon wanted to do more than point veterans in the “right” direction, they wanted to create a “path” and give us the skills and knowledge needed to walk that path. Halcyon, in not so great economic times, is taking the social responsibility to new levels and bridging the enormous gap between education and employment. I am thankful everyday that I had the opportunity to learn and create a buildable foundation offered by Halcyon that almost immediately led to me receiving job offers. I recommend this program to all veterans wanting to start an exciting career in IT along with the willingness to learn."
