Your First 90 Days at Defence Tech: A Step-by-Step Plan for Transitioning into the Industry
90 days decide whether you make it into Defence Tech. Most people never take a single practical step in that direction — motivation shows up, sequence doesn’t. So what do you do in week one? Where do you show up in the community? Which technologies actually matter in 2026–27?
We gathered the answers with our partners at a webinar on August 27.
Here’s the plan:
- 0–30 days: Fast self-diagnosis A flexible framework to assess where you stand and build a learning path around your profile.
- 30–60 days: Mapping the Defence community How the entry network works — where to show up, how to reach specialists, how to build connections.
- 60–90 days: What actually drives 2026 products Field context — what’s really working in the product, and which approaches are already outdated.
Speakers: Denys Pluhatar (AI Lead at Beetroot Academy, veteran), Oleksandra Tostanovska (HR Director at DWARF Engineering), and Zlata Dodatko (Director, NDA Recruitment agency).
This is for you if you’ve already decided to move into Defence Tech and need concrete steps to start.
