You can send me a pm if your kid wants to talk about it. I'm a machine learning engineer at a big tech company.
I agree with this in terms of exposure. Lots of Microsoft Security + Azure & AWS courses are available for free and the cert exam fees are fairly small.
Would certainly not hurt to have those certs on your resume and may give him an idea of what is interesting before he makes a commitment.
