What to Expect from the Webinar

During the session, you’ll hear directly from the La Fosse Academy team and learn:

  • How the Academy is built to support veterans
  • What the application and training process looks like
  • What kinds of roles you’ll be prepared for
  • What it’s like to transition from military life into the tech sector

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.


No Experience? No Problem.

One of the best things about this opportunity is that you don’t need any previous experience in tech to apply. All that’s required is a willingness to learn, a passion for solving problems, and the kind of drive that’s already second nature to those who’ve served.

The Academy provides everything else—from training and mentoring to placement and pay.
