KnowBe4 is dedicated to helping women pursue careers in highly technical fields, so we are launching another $10,000 scholarship for women in cybersecurity and including an (ISC)2 Certification Education Package. KnowBe4 first started offering this scholarship in 2019 and has since expanded upon the scholarship to include the certification package which will further support women as they prepare to enter the cybersecurity industry.
KnowBe4 is all about personal growth and professional development so we give the Knowsters a lot of tools and support to help them succeed. One of the most powerful resources available to the Knowsters is KnowBe4's Director Of Career Development, known to the Knowsters simply as Career Dave. With over 20 years of experience in Human Resources, Career Dave has a wealth of knowledge about how employees are hired, promoted, and developed. He is a master of everything from resumes to certifications. Though to many of the Knowsters, Dave is more than just a source of knowledge; he is a source of encouragement and motivation along their career journey.
