Growing & Advancing Arkansas's Technology Workforce
We help employers grow their IT teams, and career seekers launch
their successful IT careers.
Bridging the divide between employers & IT career seekers.
When it comes to tech skills, there’s too much demand and not enough supply.
For employers, it’s no longer enough to look only for traditional candidates with four-year degrees in computer science. We have to take a different approach – and increase the capacity of available talent. That’s what ACDS does.
