Most In-Demand Entry-Level Cyber Role
Across the United States, employers post hundreds of thousands of cybersecurity job openings every year — and they can't fill them fast enough. This is one of the largest sustained skills gaps in the modern labor market, and it's why entry-level cyber roles continue to grow even as other tech sectors slow down.
NGT's Cybersecurity Accelerator is built around the certifications and practical skills employers list as required in those job postings.
The CyberSeek heat map — produced by NIST's National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education in partnership with CompTIA and Lightcast — shows where these jobs are concentrated by state and city. NGT students leave with the certifications most cited in those listings: CompTIA Network+, Security+, and Cisco CCNA

NGT Doesn't Just Train You for Your First IT Role.
We Train You for the Climb.
Most IT training programs end at "land your first job." NGT is built around the entire career arc — from Foundation to Architect, Consultant, and beyond. Here's the path our students follow over time.
The certifications, projects, and skills you build at NGT are the same ones IT professionals stack throughout their careers. The pyramid isn't just our curriculum — it's the trajectory of the field itself.
Why NGT ACADEMY
Works Better
Instead of splitting your learning across disconnected courses, you follow a structured path that helps you build core technical skills first, and then develop expertise in networking or cybersecurity.
This approach ensures you graduate with both fundamental knowledge and real, job-ready experience.
