HOW IT WORKS
MENTORS
Mentors are RDX engineers who build and operate security automation for real customers. Feedback reflects what the job actually demands.
ELIGIBILITY
Veterans and transitioning service members, early-career graduates, and career changers with the discipline to do the work. Capacity is limited and admission is by application.
OUTCOMES
A portfolio, a readiness classification, a mentor who knows your work, and a place in the RDX network. Not a guarantee of employment or placement.
