DNJ Cyber Academy

Building the next generation
of cybersecurity professionals.

DNJ Cyber Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to closing the cybersecurity workforce gap by creating accessible pathways into high-demand careers for youth and adults in underserved communities.

Founded by Dr. Nolyn Johnson, CISM, the Academy provides structured education, CompTIA-aligned certification pathways, and workforce development programs that create real career outcomes — not just training certificates.

The Academy operates alongside Dr. Nolyn Johnson LLC, bringing the same executive-level cybersecurity expertise to workforce development that the consulting practice brings to organizational security.

  • 1,000+ students trained annually (Year 2–3)
  • 200+ industry certifications earned
  • Partnerships with 10+ school districts
  • Job placement for adult workforce graduates
