The demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals is growing at a pace unmatched by most other sectors. Yet, there’s a widening gap between the number of job openings and the availability of qualified candidates. While many institutions offer cybersecurity courses, few deliver the kind of mentorship and practical, hands-on experience necessary to prepare students for real-world challenges.
The Industry Challenge
According to recent reports, there are over 3 million unfilled cybersecurity roles globally. Employers aren’t just looking for degrees—they need individuals with practical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and the ability to respond effectively to live threats. This growing need highlights a significant failure in conventional training models.
Why Practical Training Matters
In cybersecurity, theory alone doesn’t cut it. Students must learn to:
- Detect and mitigate threats in real-time
- Conduct forensic investigations
- Manage incident response
- Understand compliance and governance frameworks
At Dr. Wisethorn Academy, we bridge this gap through curriculum designed by real practitioners who have worked in mission-critical government and enterprise environments.
Mentorship: The Game-Changer
Beyond technical skills, mentorship is what transforms learning into leadership. Our academy pairs students with seasoned cybersecurity professionals who guide them through the learning process, provide industry insights, and offer career support.

Final Word
