careers in one of technology’s fastest-growing arenas.
“We see strong synergy between this exciting new cloud computing

in cyber launched in 2017,” said Kevin M. Phillips, ManTech
president and CEO. “As our customers pursue cloud-centric
transformation and modernization, they can rely on ManTech people
with proven expertise in cloud computing and cyber that takes
digital to the tactical edge, ensuring mission success, peak
performance of new virtual systems, and end-to-end

“We’re thrilled that ManTech has chosen Purdue Global as its
partner in this fascinating and incredibly fast-growing area of
study,” said Dr. Jeffrey Buck, dean of Purdue Global’s School of
Business and IT. “Our new cloud computing degree program is an
example of how we can help customers meet the demand for highly
trained workers while creating a personalized, high-quality
educational experience for students that fits their schedules.”
Like other ManTech-sponsored employee education programs, the
new ManTech/Purdue Global cloud degree program provides the
ultimate in flexibility for participating employees. Course
registration is open at least four times per year, and all training
in vendor and service provider certifications is online and
self-directed. Beginners start with cloud basics, while those with
a deeper background can begin with advanced courses. The
work-friendly program accommodates busy schedules, enabling
students to learn at their own pace. Military veterans and
civilians can receive college credits for their on-the-job cloud
experience and certifications through Purdue Global’s innovative
ExcelTrack program, which saves time and helps students complete
their degrees faster.
“This breakthrough initiative leverages ManTech’s proven
technology expertise in a college-accredited program that will
attract and train top-level talent,” said Jeff Brody, ManTech’s
Chief Human Resources Officer. “It enhances our tradition of
helping ManTech people leverage their experience, build on it and
advance their careers in new ways that help safeguard America.”
