In this Weekend episode of Cybersecurity Today, host David speaks with Jeff Musson, co-founder and executive director of Coding for Veterans, and Daniel Shang, a recent graduate of the program's cybersecurity stream who is enrolling in its new generative AI course. Daniel shares his path from an electrical engineering background and Canadian Army reservist service (2016–2023) into cybersecurity, describing how the program's online, guided curriculum helped him build foundational skills like Python, Linux, and ethical hacking. Jeff explains how Coding for Veterans launched in 2019, has served over 1,000 students, expanded from software development into cybersecurity and AI, and supports learners with instructors, Slack communities, and occasional in-person bootcamps. They discuss veteran transition challenges, funding options through Veterans Affairs Canada and other sources, employer engagement, mentoring, and the program's career impact.
