How We Help
You have the soft skills. We give you the hard skills. Transitioning from service to the civilian workforce is tough. You face recruiters who don’t understand your background and “bootcamps” that treat you like a number. At Pybites, we speak your language. We know that veterans already possess the resilience, leadership, and adaptability that tech companies are desperate for. You just need the technical tradecraft to back it up. Whether you are looking to launch a new career as a software developer, up-skill for a role in defence tech, or simply use your entitlements to learn a valuable skill, we have a pathway for you. Overseen by our Veteran Coach Isaac Smit (Ex-Navy SWCC Operator), we provide the structure, the community, and the ruthless practicality you need to succeed in the private sector.
Pybites is a global organization and continues to grow partnerships with defense organisations around the world!

FAQs
I have zero coding experience. Is this for me?
Yes. Our PDI for Veterans program is designed specifically to take you from zero to job ready. We assume no prior knowledge, just a willingness to work hard.
Who is the veteran coach?
We have many coaches for Python, but for Veteran career transition coaching you will be working Isaac Smit, an ex-Navy SWCC Operator. Isaac left the Navy after 20-years of service and moved into Big Tech. He knows exactly the hurdles you’re facing because he’s jumped them himself.
Do you offer discounts for APOD members?
Yes! We are an official partner on the Australian Partners of Defence (APOD) marketplace. You can access significant discounts on our Coding Platform subscription directly through your APOD login.
Will you get me a job?
We don’t hand out jobs; we build the soldiers who win them. We help you build a portfolio, polish your resume, and prep for interviews. When you walk into an interview, you won’t be asking for a favor, you’ll be demonstrating that you’re the best candidate for the role.
Can I use my military educational entitlements?
This depends on your specific service branch and location (e.g., GI Bill in US, DASS in Aus). Please book a call with us so we can discuss your specific funding situation and see if we can create a compliant training package.
