KOI Professional Development Workshop Recap: “How Industry Leaders Identify Standout Candidates”
KOI students gained valuable career insights during our recent Professional Development Workshop, designed especially for students in IT, Cybersecurity, Networking, Software Development and Information Systems.
🎤 Abartan Dhakal, KOI alumnus and Head of Purple Team at StickmanCyber, shared practical strategies on building industry-ready skills, creating cybersecurity portfolios, gaining hands-on experience through labs, CTFs and bug bounties, and overcoming the “no experience” challenge.
💼 Quyen Ly, KOI Human Resources Manager, provided guidance on what employers look for in résumés, interviews and job applications, helping students better present their technical and transferable skills.
Thank you to our speakers and students for making this an insightful and inspiring session!
