“Our goal is not just to train it’s to transform careers,” said Sheikh Galib Rahman, CISSP, CEH, AWS, CSM, CEO of TransfoTech Academy. “This achievement of over 100 students completing the program is something we are incredibly proud of. We want every graduate to enter the job market with confidence, and our support doesn’t stop until they are employed.”
Why Cybersecurity Is One of the Smartest Career Choices Right Now
The timing of this initiative couldn’t be more strategic. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for Information Security Analysts is projected to grow by 29% between 2024 and 2034 far outpacing most other professions. Currently, there are over 500,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions across the United States, with an average of approximately 16,000 new job openings created every year.
The median annual salary for cybersecurity professionals exceeds $124,000, making it one of the most financially rewarding career paths available today. One recent TransfoTech graduate is already living that reality — landing a job in March 2025 with an annual salary of over $90,000.
Serving the Bangla-Speaking Community Across America
What sets TransfoTech Academy apart is its deep connection to the Bangla-speaking diaspora. The academy currently serves communities across 37 US states, with office locations in Manhattan, New York, and Los Angeles, California. Since its founding over 13 years ago, TransfoTech has remained committed to delivering career-focused IT training tailored specifically for Bangla-speaking learners.
To date, the academy has completed 79 training batches, with three active batches currently running and a new cohort set to launch next month. Plans are also underway to expand operations to the United Kingdom, which will open new doors for Bangla-speaking students internationally.
Sadia Nasrin, Head of the Career Placement Team, emphasized the personalized support each student receives: “Completing the training is not the end it’s the beginning of a career. We work individually with every student because each person’s journey is unique.“
A Community-Driven Leap Into the Future
As cyber threats grow globally and AI continues to reshape every industry, the demand for skilled professionals in these fields will only increase. TransfoTech Academy is positioning Bangladeshi-American and Bangla-speaking students at the forefront of this transformation not as bystanders, but as skilled contributors to the US tech workforce.
This achievement is more than an institutional milestone. It is a testament to what focused, community-driven education can accomplish.
Final Thought
The cybersecurity workforce gap will define the next decade of the U.S. tech economy. Programs that bridge that gap while uplifting underserved communities are doing two essential jobs at once.
TransfoTech Academy‘s 100-student milestone isn’t just an institutional win. It’s evidence that focused, community-driven education works and it’s a roadmap for what immigrant economic mobility in 2026 and beyond can look like.
The students proved the model works. Now the question is how many more will follow.
