Student Spotlight

One year ago, I had no idea what my career path was going to look like. As a full-time worker, I felt like I didn’t have the opportunity to pursue higher education. I found CD-ED and everything just made sense. The school has given me an opportunity to pursue a diploma while working at the same time. I’m grateful for the opportunities that CD-ED has granted me, I feel secure taking the next steps in my career with a diploma in my back pocket!
