DWC is a wonderful place where I have learned hard skills that are immediately applicable to my job. I have transitioned into a new role in my department directly due to the video design certificate program I took at DWC. The staff is awesome and always here to talk about different options and what courses and certificates will benefit me the most. I can’t say enough good things!
