Why Learn Cybersecurity
The Demand for Cyber Talent
There are many opportunities in Utah and across the United States. According to research from cyberseek.org, in Dallas alone, there are currently over 7,000 open cybersecurity roles and a very low supply of cybersecurity talent.
Nationally, there are over half a million cyber jobs that employers are looking to fill. Plus, local high-tech companies like Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Accenture, Intermountain Healthcare, and Travelers are currently hiring (Lightcast™ . 2022).
These companies are hiring for roles like IT Help Desk Specialist, Systems Support Specialist, and Cybersecurity Analyst. Grads of the USU Cyber Bootcamp curriculum are qualified for employment in any of these jobs--and more!
