"Major shoutout to Emagine IT, Inc. for creating a space that actually supports newcomers. That’s rare, in my personal experience, and deserves recognition." This is why we do it. 💙🚀 While we appreciate the love, all the credit goes to YOU Aaliyah, for showing up, getting involved, and being yourself! That's what makes you and everyone who joined us different. Incase you didn't know, every month we pick one Saturday morning to host an interactive workforce development workshop for individuals looking to ⦿ Transition into tech ⦿ Improve their soft-skills ⦿ Gain a deeper understanding of various components of the world of IT and it's connection to real world missions ⦿ Network with other peers And ultimately ... Take ownership of their future by taking action. Last weekend was special. Thank you for everyone who attended and participated - it was a full house! (We see you Duwaine Jenkins driving to and from Philly to show up on a rainy Saturday morning! 👀) To everyone else - if you are interested in joining our next workshop but are unsure if it's the right fit for you, check out Aaliyah's thoughts below.

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Networking 101 workshop hosted by Emagine IT, Inc., and I left feeling so motivated! Huge thanks to CEO Aamir S., CTO Bilal B., SGO Jeremy, and Network Architect Alain Bileg for dropping so much wisdom. What really stuck with me is that many of them came from completely different backgrounds. It was the reminder I didn’t know I needed: it’s never too late to start something new. What we covered: 1. An overview of career paths across the IT world and how flexible those routes can be 2. A deep dive into what a network engineer actually does on a day-to-day basis 3. The ins and outs of designing, deploying, and maintaining networks 4. Tools, skills, and steps to break into network engineering (with or without a traditional background) 5. How AI and automation are already reshaping the field and how to get ahead of it. I came to the event with a whole list of questions. Didn’t even need to ask one. They hit every single topic I was wondering about without me having to say a word. That’s how you know they really understand the people they’re speaking to. A big personal takeaway for me: You don’t need to have it “all figured out” to get started. Passion. Consistency. Curiosity. That’s the magic combo. Funny enough, I had been working on a little machine learning project but kinda abandoned it. After this session? I felt that spark again. I picked that project right on up and continued on from where I left off. Sometimes all you need is a little reminder of why you started. Major shoutout to Emagine IT, Inc. for creating a space that actually supports newcomers. That’s rare, in my personal experience, and deserves recognition. If you’re thinking about pivoting into tech, whether it’s networking, cybersecurity, or anything in between... DO IT. You don’t have to know everything to get started. Just start. 💻🚀
