CFDS is an independent education entity that students at certain colleges have access to at discounted rates. We make career-readiness programs for students and companies. We aim to make programs validated by industry leaders as an effective way to prepare students for the jobs and internships they are seeking. Programs are not taken to earn academic credit hours. You are only eligible to enroll in a CFDS program because of student and/or alumni affiliations if you are a current student or you graduated in the last semester.

Thinkific is an LMS like Canvas. The reason we use it is because it easily gives year-round access to people regardless of whether they graduate or have classes in a given semester. It is also generally easier to use and more geared towards self-paced use, whereas Canvas is more suitable for classes with many deadlines.

CFDS programs are only made available to students at qualified colleges. UMich students are eligible to join our programs at heavily discounted rates because of our ongoing relationship with active UMich students.
