We connect with Sekou Hill of A.C.T Institute to learn about his passion for training others for access into I.T. careers and being a professional referee and his hoop dreams for student athletes.

A.C.T. Institute (Athletics and Career Training Institute) is a dual-track workplace development organization that trains student-athletes to win on the court while building real, future-proof careers off the court through hands-on education in IT and cybersecurity, pairing elite basketball coaching, mentorship, and life-after-sports planning with tech-skills pipelines so young people don’t have to choose between being a standout athlete and a rising technologist.
