Our Mission
To develop a select group of student-athletes and military graduates through a program of professional communication, image building and sales skills that helps position them for success in their future careers.  To provide a platform where participants can apply their discipline, work ethic and “grit” towards successful employment opportunities.

Why is it critical?
To be successful in life, young professionals need to be able to communicate effectively, portray a professional image, and sell themselves and their ideas.  Dardis Academy provides this road map and “playbook”.
