MyComputerCareer Honors 1600 soon-to-be IT professionals.
Graduating class is the school's largest since November 2022, highlighting the importance of
non-traditional higher education learning pathways
APEX, N.C., Aug. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- MyComputerCareer, an online and in-campus technical
college, celebrated the achievements of 1586 graduates across all
campuses during its virtual graduation ceremony Saturday, Aug. 3, at noon. The class – made up of
graduates from the school's Information Technology Security and
Administration (ITSA), Cyber Security Specialist (CSS), Cyber
Security Engineer (CSE), Cyber Warrior, and Associate's Degree
programs – reflects the growing demand for IT skills-training and
workforce-skills training options in post-secondary education.
"To say the least It's an exciting time in
the world of work and learning, full of opportunities for so many
folks," Galati said. Whether it's through a degree, a
certification, or experiences that teach you the ropes, finding
your own path to success is more possible today than ever
before.
The virtual ceremony featured remarks from CEO Tony Galati, President Amy Onuska, Regional Director of Texas
Operations Jarvis Hill, Director of
Alumni Services Kelly Dowling, and
Chief Marketing Officer Bruce
Ackerman.

In his address to graduates, Tony
Galati praised their resolve to complete the challenging
program and their dedication to changing their lives.
"It is not common for people who are potentially stuck in
dead-end jobs or not happy with the way their lives are going to
take control of that situation and do something about it. You
decided not to be satisfied with the status quo and to (take charge
of ) your future," Galati said. "It makes me happy to know you have
moved forward in a positive way. Today you are a graduate of a very
rigorous program. Today, you are all alumni of
MyComputerCareer."
The tone in higher education is significantly shifting.
Depending on which poll or study you read, confidence in
"traditional" higher education is sliding. And while there is still
very real value in this path for many people, not every learner
fits into this bucket which is why the conversation around
skills-development and workforce training is louder than ever in
2024. Simply put, the time commitment and financial realities of
the old university model don't work for everyone. There are 70
million skills-warriors in the United
States and 1600 recent graduates of MyComputerCareer without
traditional 4-year degrees that would agree.
"To say the least It's an exciting time in the world of work and
learning, full of opportunities for so many folks," Galati said.
Whether it's through a degree, a certification, or experiences that
teach you the ropes, finding your own path to success is more
possible today than ever before. I have no doubt the warriors from
this graduating class will find that success and positively impact
the IT industry."
