At GigaKOM, we’re passionate about supporting the local community and providing students with opportunities to explore exciting career paths in the tech industry. On March 31st and April 3rd, we had the privilege of partnering with Monarch School and 37ECB School to inspire and educate students about the growing field of cybersecurity. 

Engaging Cybersecurity Sessions for Students

On Monday, March 31st, our CEO, Andrej Komatina, along with Nancy Mena and Andrew Ross, hosted an engaging and interactive session at Monarch School from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. During this time, students were introduced to the fundamentals of cybersecurity and its importance in today’s digital world. Andrej shared real-world examples of cybersecurity challenges and solutions, offering valuable insights into this fast-growing field. 

The following Thursday, April 3rd, the team brought the same energy and enthusiasm to 37ECB School, where we hosted another session from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Once again, students were captivated by Andrej’s presentation, which was complemented by an interactive Kahoot quiz. The quiz made the learning process fun and engaging while reinforcing key concepts in cybersecurity. 

A Special Thanks to Danny Pasawongse

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Danny Pasawongse, a leader in the San Diego County Office of Education and The Executive Director of Technology Infrastructure & Operations, for making these events possible. Danny’s dedication to connecting students with industry experts and fostering partnerships between educational institutions and the tech industry is truly commendable. His efforts play a vital role in providing students with unique opportunities to learn about various career paths, particularly in technology and cybersecurity.

GigaKOM’s Continued Commitment to Education

These sessions are just one example of GigaKOM’s ongoing commitment to education and the development of the next generation of tech leaders. Our partnership with Monarch and 37ECB Schools is part of a broader effort to provide students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in the tech world. We are also proud to have collaborated with San Diego State University’s ALPHA (Association of Latino Professionals for America) chapter, hosting an event focused on career success in accounting and consulting earlier this year.

As a company deeply invested in the future of technology, GigaKOM will continue to support and empower students across San Diego. We are excited to help shape the careers of future cybersecurity professionals, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in today’s digital landscape. 

Through initiatives like these, GigaKOM remains committed to making a lasting impact on the community, one student at a time.
