Why IT?
Why Information Technology Fits Military Backgrounds
Your security clearance, systems training, and mission-critical discipline are exactly what the tech industry needs.
Your security clearance is valuable
Cleared professionals are in high demand. Government contractors and defense tech firms actively recruit veterans with active or recent clearances for cybersecurity and systems roles.
Military tech training transfers
SIGINT, COMMS, SATCOM, and IT MOS experience maps directly to civilian certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP, and AWS — many programs award credit for prior training.
GI Bill® covers it
VA-approved IT programs and bootcamps accept GI Bill®, Tuition Assistance, and VET TEC benefits. Many vets complete certifications at zero out-of-pocket cost.
Massive demand, high pay
Cybersecurity alone has over 500,000 unfilled jobs. IT professionals earn a median salary of $100K+ with strong growth projected through 2030.
