Mock-Interviews – This service helps students learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies, improve communication skills, and reduce stress before an actual interview.
Resume Assistance – This service provides one-on one-support to help students brainstorm, edit, and format the layout of a resume. Students will leave the program with a professionally completed resume.
Food Insecurity – Food insecurity is a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life. Our goal is to ensure that no member of the ATDM family goes hungry. As a result, we have a list of resources and services available to assist.
Academic Support – Trained peer and professional tutors are available to tutor specific subject areas and to assist students in developing effective learning strategies.
