Spotlight on Joe Wallis: Transitioning into Tech

Continuing in the tradition of excellence, CityU’s Military & Allies Network recently hosted an exclusive webinar featuring Joe Wallis, Microsoft’s Director of Veteran Affairs and a retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel with 28 years of service. In this session, Joe shared invaluable insights about transitioning into the tech industry through Microsoft’s Software and Systems Academy (MSSA).

“MSSA isn’t just a program; it’s a career-transforming opportunity for service members and veterans to gain cutting-edge skills and thrive in the tech industry,” Joe explained.
