THE WORD FROM OUR ALUMNI
“I gained more than an expanded skill set with General Assembly — I discovered a community that encourages conversation, collaboration, and continuous learning. GA's culture has made me more curious and I'm proud to be a part of it.”

THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS FOR SUCCESS
“I approach hiring challenges by proactively reaching out to programs such as GA to find the best talent that we know has a great baseline learning and experience. Being a GA grad myself, I know the high quality of what is taught in the program and what is translatable to the work we do today. It allows me confidence that when I hire a GA grad I know what they are capable of and what skills they can provide. GA grads tend to have high-quality portfolios that showcase great UX process and overall understanding of human-centered design. They all have unique ways of showcasing ideas and insights that allow for each one to shine in their own way.”
