From Mom to Cybersecurity: A Free Roadmap for Mothers Changing Careers

Free online session for mothers of young children who want a flexible, in-demand career. Get an honest roadmap into cybersecurity.

You are good at your job, or you were. Then the kids came, the schedule changed, and now every job board feels like a closed door.

Maybe you have been thinking:

· "I want a career that grows, but I cannot give up bedtime and school pickup."

· "There is a gap on my résumé and I do not know how to explain it."

· "Everyone says 'learn tech,' but nobody tells me which path, how long, or what it costs."

· "I do not want to waste money on a course that leads nowhere."

That is the real problem. It is not that you cannot do it. It is that nobody has shown you a clear path that fits your life.

In 60 minutes, you will get one.

What you will walk away with:

· Clarity: the three starting doors into cybersecurity, including roles that are about policy, compliance and risk, not coding.

· A plan you can actually follow: a 90-day starter plan built around nap times, school hours and 30 minutes a day.

· Honest costs: which entry-level certifications are worth paying for, which are not, and the honest timeline (months, not weeks).

· A take-home: a free "Cyber Career Starter Map" checklist [to be created], and a chance to ask your questions live.

Why now: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median pay of $129,180 (May 2025) for information security analysts and projects 21% job growth from 2025 to 2035. That role usually needs a degree and experience, so this session focuses on the doors that open earlier: governance, risk and compliance support, security awareness, IT audit support and entry-level IT-to-security paths.

Who it is for: mothers of young children who are curious about changing careers. All are welcome. No technical background needed.

Who is leading it: Ijenna Aluko, founder of TandT LLC, an independent technology assurance firm, and a mother herself.
