While knowing the curriculum gets IT-novices career-ready, Rudy over time realized that insecurity and fear of failure was presenting a major obstacle to many in this promising cohort. “In my experience, imposter syndrome takes 85% of them,” said Rudy. Career Development Manager (CDM) Rudy Gonzalez, a MSSA graduate himself, was at the helm of his 6th th cohort, responsible for the successful progress of 23 participants, most of whom had no prior technical experience. In Camp Lejune-6 (CL-6)’s Cloud Application Development (CAD) cohort, a perfect storm was brewing. Everyone starts on the same playing field and needs to work together to succeed. Graduates tell us that the program challenges everyone – even people who may have experience in IT. Participants learn to problem-solve technical issues from the ground up, in fields that many have never dreamed of working. When put into a technical training classroom for the first time and needing to absorb lots of technical information in a relatively short time, it can be overwhelming. We count on servicemembers to be confident and unafraid to move forward towards any challenge, which they are well trained to do. Value of a Veteran: Taking on Imposter Syndrome
