CCAC afforded me the ability to gain the skills I need to enter the video game industry while still being able to work full time. The technical game design skillsets that I learned at CCAC enabled me to secure an exciting internship at Schell Games, where I worked for a semester while gaining valuable experience—my internship has now been extended into a fellowship through the end of 2019.
