Our
Academies

Our academies are built within the LEAP Program to provide more specialized training in key job areas.

Product Manager Academy

Pushing innovative ideas and products through development sounds rewarding, right? Product managers at Palo Alto Networks protect some of the world’s most sensitive data from constant threats by bringing together the needs of our clients with our engineer’s solutions.

As part of our Product Manager Academy, you’ll learn how to brainstorm, innovate, and disrupt the industry by creating roadmaps and product ideas that defend the world from digital dangers.

Sales Academy

Sales is a challenging career path. It’s all about building relationships, education, and persevering through rejection. It’s been said that “everyone is in sales,” so being able to stand out is key. How does Palo Alto Networks’ sales staff do that? Empathy. We care about the security of our clients, and how it keeps their business moving forward.

Join our Sales Academy to learn from the best cybersecurity sellers. Through in-depth training, you will learn to sell a portfolio of products, tell an authentic story, and build trusting relationships.

Systems Engineering Academy

As architects of cybersecurity, Palo Alto Network’s systems engineers survey the landscape, identify imminent threats, and collaborate with clients to blend existing products with never-before-used techniques, safeguarding our customers’ most valuable information.

You’ll join an elite cohort of recent technical college graduates for a two-year intense immersion into cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks technologies, automation, and on-the-job learning.

Inspiring Youth With A Virtual Field Trip

July 23, 2021

Initiatives like A.C.E.S. are opportunities for corporations to have positive impacts on underrepresented communities by creating a rich pipeline of talent. Through developing a slide deck to help the company pivot to online deliveries of A.C.E.S., I was recruited to speak to students in the Hidden Genius Project on June 18, 2021; a nonprofit based in Oakland, CA, with the goal of training and mentoring black male youth in technology, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
