Ballistic X Pursuit Cyber Fellows

The skills gap is a critical challenge in cybersecurity today. Despite the industry’s rapid growth, there’s a significant shortage of qualified professionals – particularly from non-traditional backgrounds, as open opportunities aren’t accessible to everyone. 

The Ballistic X Pursuit Cyber Fellows program aims to tackle this challenge head-on.

The Ballistic X Pursuit Cyber Fellows program taps into Pursuit.org’s proven software development training program, empowering talented adults from non-traditional backgrounds to get the training and support needed to be hired, retained and succeed in the cybersecurity industry.

We’re looking for corporate partners to join us on this critical mission.
