As a soon-to-be graduate of the Software Technician program at Conestoga College Of Applied Sciences and
Technology in Ontario, Canada, I am confident that I have the necessary skills and qualifications to succeed

For the past two years I have been involved in two different programs offered in Conestoga College; in such programs, the training helped me become a skillful potential employee for the Information Technology field. I am currently registered in the second year of a two year Software Engineering Technician program; the first year in college I was enrolled in the CP/A Co-op program. The Software Engineering Program at Conestoga has provided me with specialized training in languages like C, C++, Embedded Systems, and a very good basic understanding of UNIX and networking through RedHat Linux. In addition, when I took a year course in the Computer Programmer Analyst program, I gained exposure to Relational Database Design and Implementation through Access and SQL, Visual Basic, COBOL, UNIX (BSD), Business Communications and Mathematics.
