“The Career Acceleration program really helped me to develop those skills to be able to write a proper resume depending on the job that I'm applying to, and to be able to tailor my cover letters to the position that I'm applying to.”
“[The instructors] touched me and gave me encouragement when I felt a lack thereof. When I couldn't learn something fast enough and I didn't understand and I was kind of scared, they asked questions to pull it out of me.”
“We had an interesting group. When I was learning, it was 50% men and 50% women, and there were all different ages and different people. We helped each other. We had a great discussion group and shared some interesting links. It was a great time for me.”
“The externship really forced me to pick up things quickly, implement solutions quickly, be able to communicate, and be able to ask for help when I needed it—very valuable skills.”
“So actually experiencing that, having those daily standups, working with your co-workers…just gaining that experience before actually moving into a job I think was one of the most valuable things for me specifically because I didn't have any of that experience beforehand.”
“What helped me stand out were my projects that I had listed and could touch on to prove that I had experience in the programs that I would be using every day.”
