We are thrilled to share the successful launch of InnoVets’ Codex tech training program, an initiative designed to equip Veterans and members of the military community with the essential skills for a thriving career in cybersecurity and the broader tech industry.

Bridging the Gap: Military Service to Tech Career

Service members are uniquely suited for the demanding field of technology. Throughout their military careers, Veterans consistently demonstrate the crucial abilities to adapt in real-time, quickly master new equipment, and employ sophisticated techniques—traits that are invaluable in the ever-evolving tech landscape.

The need for skilled professionals has never been greater. Cybersecurity threats pose a significant risk, costing the United States tens of billions of dollars each year in financial losses and lost productivity. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a need for an additional 50,000 trained professionals by 2034.

By training Veterans to fill these high-skill, in-demand roles, Codex offers a path to a successful transition from military to civilian life. Participants gain a well-paying career that allows them to continue serving and protecting their communities, leveraging the unique discipline and problem-solving skills honed during their service.

First Cohort Success: Hands-On Linux Training

In October 2025, the Codex program proudly stood up its first cohort. A class of 9 Veterans and civilians from across Massachusetts took part in an intensive 3-day ‘Intro to Linux’ bootcamp.

  • Location: The training was held in-person at the Emond Center for Engagement in Boston’s vibrant Seaport District.
  • Curriculum: The course content was thoughtfully designed and built by a mix of Veteran and civilian experts, ensuring a curriculum that is both comprehensive and grounded in real-world experience.
  • Instruction: Participants benefited from instruction by a team of Veteran and civilian instructors who brought years of practical expertise into the classroom.
  • Learning Style: The bootcamp emphasized hands-on learning, giving students the opportunity to apply new concepts immediately and build the confidence necessary for a successful tech career.

The launch of the Codex program represents a powerful step forward in supporting our Veteran community and strengthening the national cybersecurity workforce. We look forward to sharing more about the continued success of our students and future cohorts!
