00:00:00,08 --> 00:00:02,07
- If you're watching this video,

2
00:00:02,07 --> 00:00:05,00
you probably have way more talent

3
00:00:05,00 --> 00:00:08,00
than you know what to do with, and you need help.

4
00:00:08,00 --> 00:00:09,00
No, I'm just kidding.

5
00:00:09,00 --> 00:00:11,01
You didn't read the description wrong.

6
00:00:11,01 --> 00:00:15,02
The reality is you probably have the opposite problem.

7
00:00:15,02 --> 00:00:17,01
In this highly competitive job market

8
00:00:17,01 --> 00:00:18,09
in the cybersecurity space,

9
00:00:18,09 --> 00:00:21,06
you're trying to attract and retain talent,

10
00:00:21,06 --> 00:00:23,03
but it's the same talent that everyone else

11
00:00:23,03 --> 00:00:25,03
is trying to attract and retain.

12
00:00:25,03 --> 00:00:28,08
So you may not be able to get or afford them.

13
00:00:28,08 --> 00:00:31,03
We're going to do something a little unpopular

14
00:00:31,03 --> 00:00:34,00
to help close the cybersecurity skills gap.

15
00:00:34,00 --> 00:00:36,06
Focus on entry-level talent.

16
00:00:36,06 --> 00:00:38,03
In this LinkedIn Learning course,

17
00:00:38,03 --> 00:00:41,02
I'll show you how these industry newcomers

18
00:00:41,02 --> 00:00:43,07
can help you build a strong talent pipeline

19
00:00:43,07 --> 00:00:46,00
in an incredibly competitive job market.

20
00:00:46,00 --> 00:00:47,09
We'll talk about how building a pipeline

21
00:00:47,09 --> 00:00:49,09
of entry-level talent helps you build

22
00:00:49,09 --> 00:00:52,00
a sustainable security program

23
00:00:52,00 --> 00:00:54,05
and improves your overall return on investment.

24
00:00:54,05 --> 00:00:56,01
I'm Tia Hopkins.

25
00:00:56,01 --> 00:00:59,01
I've been in the IT and IT security industry

26
00:00:59,01 --> 00:01:01,00
for over two decades.

27
00:01:01,00 --> 00:01:03,08
I started my career as a DSL installer

28
00:01:03,08 --> 00:01:06,07
back when we were all ditching our dialup modems.

29
00:01:06,07 --> 00:01:10,08
And today I'm an award-winning cybersecurity executive

30
00:01:10,08 --> 00:01:12,08
and industry influencer.

31
00:01:12,08 --> 00:01:15,08
Where I am today, would not have I been possible

32
00:01:15,08 --> 00:01:17,09
if someone hadn't given me a shot

33
00:01:17,09 --> 00:01:19,02
in the early days of my career

34
00:01:19,02 --> 00:01:21,01
when I was trying to figure it all out.

35
00:01:21,01 --> 00:01:24,00
And I'm so excited to share with you what I've learned.
