Join us for the second session in our new NextGen Presents webinar series—designed by the NextGen Advisory Council to bring timely, practical conversations directly to Air Force Academy graduates.

This session focuses on Cyber and will feature three Falcons at different stages of the journey, sharing real-world insight on careers, industry trends, and lessons learned both in and out of uniform. Come back soon to learn who will be on our panel.

WHY THIS SERIES EXISTS

Over the past year, graduates told us they wanted more:

  • Professional development

  • Mentorship

  • Real-world career insight from fellow Falcons

NextGen Presents was created in direct response to that feedback—bringing relevant conversations, expert perspectives, and peer learning straight to you, wherever you are in your career.
