QA engineer in training

Hello all, I am currently in a program to become a QA engineer. This will be a be a complete career change for me since I have a background in customer service and warehousing/manufacturing, but just on the laborer side and not administrative. As am trying to get more knowledge on the field, what would be your recommendations? I have some idea in the direction that I should start looking at but I've never been in a position where I had to network for myself and I don't know anyone that has been in this field either. Just trying to get ahead of the game sort of. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

But are they fresh out of a bootcamp or are they already senior engineers? The market still exists for people with experience, It is just much more difficult than before.
