"ReSkill Arkansas is literally the best program I have been a part of so far! It was really difficult to find a place to start and I was going in many different directions instead of being able to develop skills in a particular area of IT. ACDS is giving me an opportunity to prove to an employer that I have what it takes to be a valuable and efficient team member."
Talon C.
Web Developer
"ACDS played a pivotal role in my career transition, providing invaluable support through mock interviews and assistance during my bootcamp, while also forging meaningful connections with local businesses. Their arranged interview ultimately led to my job offer, and their training in Angular opened doors to new opportunities."
