About Us
Founded in 2014, APDS’ mission is to prepare every justice-impacted individual for a living wage job. Through its career readiness platform, APDS has proven success through its “Whole Learner Framework” which is a proprietary curriculum delivering assessments and plans that motivate and engage to effectively educate and equip these individuals in their pursuit to empower themselves and strengthen society. APDS leverages innovative technology to create a managed learning environment that fosters growth and certifies career-readiness.
