This page is updated each January, June, and October with the most current list of students who have been awarded certificates or are currently candidates for a certificate. Students who participated in a career program or graduated before Fall 2025 may have included different terminology on their resume than what is listed below, as program requirements have morphed over the years and students that completed former iterations of the program have been post-awarded certificates based off of their equivalents. Employers may contact kyra@egdcollective.org for verification checks.
