Squad success stories

The ever-changing nature of cyber threats will ensure cyber security remains a top priority across all industries, future-proofing my career opportunities.

- Adam Hodges

Meet Adam

Adam is a 23-year veteran of the Royal Air Force where he specialised in logistics and learning development strategy and implementation.

After retiring from service in 2021, he secured a role as a Training Manager at Capita on the Defence Fire and Rescue Project.

Despite enjoying his new role, Adam was interested in pivoting his career from L&D to cyber security.

Adam's journey

When Capita partnered with WithYouWithMe in 2022, Adam received an email inviting him to sign up for Potential and complete his psychometric and aptitude testing.

After completing the testing, given his interest in cyber security, Adam decided to enter the cyber pathway which would ultimately take him 5 months to complete.

While in training, he attended a Job Accelerator event run by WithYouWithMe and their partner, Leonardo, a key player in aerospace, defence and security. After a successful interview, Adam was selected as a squad member, set to be deployed into Leonardo.

"The training experience was challenging at times but my desire to pivot to a career in cyber was the driver that helped me succeed."

A secure future in cyber security

Adam now works for Leonardo as a Senior Cyber Security Consultant. Given the constant expansion of the cyber and IT domain, he is excited to kickstart his new career and hopes to continue learning new skills and progressing through the ranks at Leonardo.

“The ever-changing nature of cyber threats will ensure cyber security remains a top priority across all industries, future-proofing my career opportunities and providing me with job security.”
