| Description | The CPA program provides hands-on experience in developing computer programs to satisfy business requirements. Graduates are well trained for a career as a programmer analyst. It has an outstanding work placement program, often turning away employers looking to ‘hire’ work placement students. Our CPA graduates are highly sought after. According to the latest statistics, we teach 9 of the top 10 desired software skills.
Courtesy of Dice.com ~ As the retirement date for baby boomers fast approaches there is also a demand for mainframe programming. We are one of a handful of colleges in North America that offers mainframe programming. We have a partnership with IBM’s academic initiative program where they supply our program with mainframe resources.
Learning takes place in both classrooms and computer labs. Faculty bring a wealth of real world experiences to the classroom. Our courses are constantly evolving to meet the needs of local employers. This program is well-suited to people who are interested in computers, but not math, physics or electronics.
