Here's what some of our participants want you to know: "Hearing Congressman Glenn Ivey encourage young African American college students like me to pursue careers on Capitol Hill was breathtaking. It reminded me why diverse perspectives need to be amplified—and why our voices matter on a national level." — K’Rissa Moore, Capitol Immersion Participant "This experience completely shifted my perspective on cybersecurity. Where else can you learn directly from top experts while building a supportive peer community? Whether you're technical or not—this program gives you the foundation and the edge to advance." — Gle'Shay Currie, Cybersecurity Accelerator Participant The world of policy, advocacy, cybersecurity and nonprofit leadership aren’t just changing, they are being reinvented.

In a week or less, you’ll: ✔ Engage directly with experts shaping policy, legislation and industry strategy. ✔ Gain high-impact skills as history unfolds in Washington, D.C. ✔ Build a career-launching network—no "six-figure connections" required.

Learn from the Best and Build Lifelong Connections Our programs connect you with industry leaders, policymakers and mentors who provide real-world guidance you can’t get anywhere else. "The exposure to industry leaders, hands-on learning at the AWS Skills Center and connections with professionals across the U.S. gave me clarity and confidence I couldn't get anywhere else." — Kayrene Woods, Cybersecurity Accelerator Participant 2. Gain Skills That Employers Want—Fast Classroom theory is important, but real-world application is what sets you apart. Our programs focus on practical, career-ready skills in high-demand fields. "One of the biggest lessons? Stay adaptable. Cybersecurity never stands still so neither should you. This program taught me to embrace challenges, stay curious, and keep learning."— Victor Ofei, Cybersecurity Accelerator Participant 3. Open Doors to Future Opportunities Many of our alumni land internships, jobs and mentorships through the connections they make in our programs.
