SkillStorm Launches Cloud & Cybersecurity Certification Tracks for Veterans

SkillStorm launches two certification tracks in cloud engineering and cybersecurity to help veterans transition into tech careers. The program is GI Bill-approved and begins on August 5, 2025, with cohorts in full-time and part-time formats. The certification tracks are designed to meet the demand for federal tech talent and provide direct pathways into federal and commercial roles through SkillStorm's employer network.

SkillStorm, a leading U.S. talent tech accelerator, has unveiled two immersive certification tracks—Cloud Engineering and Cybersecurity—specifically designed for the military community through the DoD SkillBridge and GI Bill programs. The cohorts will launch on August 5, 2025, and are available in both full-time (9-week) and part-time (4–22 week evening) formats.

These certification tracks aim to meet the urgent demand for federal tech talent. As federal agencies invest in cloud infrastructure, data center modernization, and AI-powered decision systems, the need for cleared, certified talent is surging. Cybersecurity and cloud engineering roles are now mission-critical across defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies. SkillStorm's new certification tracks are purpose-built to address this demand, preparing veterans for commercial tech roles and high-impact positions supporting government modernization and national security initiatives [1].

The program is GI Bill-approved, making it accessible for veterans, military spouses, and civilians. It offers live online instruction, hands-on labs, and 1:1 coaching, culminating in industry certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect – Associate and CompTIA Security+. Additionally, SkillStorm's direct pathways into federal and commercial roles through its employer network provide participants with immediate opportunities to apply their new skills.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for cloud and cybersecurity talent is projected to outpace overall tech job growth by 21% between 2021 and 2031. However, more than 200,000 service members transition to civilian life each year without clear, affordable routes into these careers. SkillStorm's mission-aligned programs close this gap by delivering market-ready skills at zero out-of-pocket cost for most participants [1].

The new tracks are delivered in collaboration with workforce-focused colleges and universities nationwide, aligning courses to existing degree pathways while providing localized student services.
