SkillingUp Participant

“Before SkillingUp, I needed help to get my life back on track. Doing the program really accelerated my recovery. Afterwards, I got a full- time job as an Enterprise Architect that really matches what I had before I got sick. The SkillingUp program definitely exceeded my expectations.”
