Alumni Network
When you graduate from one of our leadership, policy, or technical programs or complete a learning track in a year, your journey doesn’t have to end there. You will be eligible to join an interactive network of Internet champions.
The Alumni Network helps you stay connected, develop your skills, and succeed better in the job market.
By joining the Alumni Network, you can continue collaborating to defend an open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy Internet.
