“I thought I knew a lot before I got here, but I found out that I didn’t. I’ve learned so much. It’s been great, I really feel like it’s prepared me for the workforce. I’m switching careers from accounting to I.T. since there’s so much opportunity in this area and this program has prepared me to do the job.”
