“While they are in the program and while they are just here learning, they are making $4,000 a month plus full benefits,” said NukuDo Managing Director Michael Blair.
Blair said NukuDo will pay for certifications and connect them with its business partners.
“Once we get them placed with one of our business partners, now they are making $66,000 for essentially three years of commitment,” Blair said.
NukuDo, a sister company of Singapore-based Red Alph,a opened its headquarters in downtown San Antonio. The courses they offer will take place at the Rand Building.
“Not only are we helping the cybersecurity industry find the talent that is so difficult for them to find, hire, keep and retain, but we are changing peoples lives in the process,” Blair said.
Currently in the private sector, there are about 100 operational cybersecurity companies in the San Antonio and New Braunfels area, according to Greater: SATX.
