Testimonials

“The ReDI School has had a tremendously positive impact on my career path. I'm still wondering what to do next, but I know that integrating digital skills definitely opens doors.”

“I am just a newbie to Tech and I see a long way ahead, but I always feel motivated. Thank you and I am glad that ReDI is always by my side throughout this journey.”

“When I say the opportunity I had at ReDI School was life changing, it was because I saw that it was worth coming here, betting my last coins and actually staying in Berlin and bulding my life here. Everything is still in a process. But for the first time, I feel strong enough and useful with the skill I learned this semester. Thank you”
