Director’s Message
Welcome to Arkansas Coding Academy!
This spring completes Arkansas Coding Academy’s 5th year! As the new director, I am happy to report we are more devoted than ever to creating a thriving community of software developers in Arkansas!
Our mission at Arkansas Coding Academy (ArCA) continues to be to provide information technology training to individuals in Central Arkansas, but we don’t stop there. When you enroll in a course at ArCA, you join a community of like-minded, driven individuals with a passion for technology. We will work hard to ensure you are challenged, but we will be with you every step of the way. We will offer you access to our career services so that you leave us prepared to interview for developer jobs. We connect you to our community of Alumni and invite you to networking events where you will have the opportunity to make new connections. Your success is now our success, and we want to help you however we can.
