“I took the Accounting and Payroll program. I was fortunate enough to obtain employment before I did my practicum. Before I went to CDI I had no real direction and I never thought that I would be able to have a career. Now I am working in a field that I love and I enjoy going to work every day.” - Katy D., CDI College Graduate
