Success Stories
Jeremy Walsh
Infantry Section Commander
After pursuing the Cert IV in Cybersecurity, I faced countless rejections until Neil candidly pointed out my lack of qualifications. If I had started with the Solve Transition program from the outset, it would have given me a significant 1.5-year shortcut to employment. Thanks to Neil’s insight and Solve Transition’s comprehensive program, I’m now equipped with the credentials, confidence, and connections to excel in my new career.
Paul Martin
Prosecutions Officer
I left the police force feeling like I had no options or opportunities ahead of me. The team behind Solve Transition has given me hope that I can still work and make a difference. You honestly have nothing to lose and absolutely everything to gain. I couldn’t recommend them enough. I hope all that read this find the path they are looking for outside police/military life. It’s not easy but don’t give up 👍
Harry Mabb
Artillery Drone Pilot
I never thought my military skills would fit cybersecurity until Solve Transition showed me how. The hands-on labs and industry-leading Fortinet training prepared me for a role in just two months – I am in a great role in DXC technology and have been promoted within the first year.
Graeme Kuchmar
Police Veteran
As a police veteran, I’ve faced the challenge of finding my place after leaving the force in 2010. After months of job searching, I found real guidance through Police Veterans Vic, which led me to Neil, the Solve Transition team, and the Fortinet Cybersecurity Certification. His transparent, real-world approach made me confident I’m on the right path, pursuing cybersecurity with purpose rather than falling for empty promises.
Alec Mates
Computer Technician
After being ill health retired from the police force, I am now looking forward to the challenges that await within cyber security. I believe that the best way forward is with the proven team at Solve transition. Sometimes you just need to believe in yourself and put your best foot forward.
Kelly Neely
Police Veteran
For someone about to start training in the industry, I can say Solve Transition has shown me a path and instilled confidence that a career in Cyber Security is possible.
Harry Lofts
Former Infantry Soldier
Cybersecurity wasn’t a natural next step for me after Army. Solve Transition’s program gave me the skills and confidence I needed through tailored mentorship and personalised career guidance. Today, I’m thriving in a cybersecurity role working internationally and I love it.
Joanne Daley
Police Veteran
It is very helpful to have a clear pathway into cyber security (thank you Neil) that is industry aligned, has currency and delivers practical and tangible skills. The pathway you suggest is an excellent use of time and recognises, values and builds on the skills Veterans already have in spades. Thank you Neil for your support of Veterans and your recognition of what we have to offer.
Stuart Wright
Retired Police Officer
All ex-service personnel should be supported by their government and the rest of society for their sacrifices, great or small. Organisations like Solve Transitions are helping Military and Police personnel move forward after their service with in-depth education and personnel experience in cybersecurity. Thank you again, Neil, for all of your support, understanding and experience.
