"I had the pleasure of being apart of the cohort program at Develomark. The cohort program was organized and well-planned, it was clear that Ruan is very intentional in what and how he teaches the students in this program. Ruan not only helped us learn new skills but also acted as a mentor throughout the program. By the end of the program, I can confidently say I am much more prepared for future opportunities. I would highly recommend taking the opportunity to work with Ruan if given the chance."
