Students will have the practical and theoretical skills in order to be successful in the workforce and respond successfully to the challenges presented by contemporary high-demand computer science positions.

“I am learning how to provide better customer service. Also, improving my troubleshooting ability and knowledge of the windows operating system and organizational IT. I would consider working for Ontario Public Service as even though this position may not be what I am particularly interested in, there are a lot of chances for lateral movement. Furthermore, everyone on the staff has been extremely friendly and accommodating. Honestly, the entire experience has been very rewarding and I learn new things everyday.”

“As a 4th year student at Algoma University, I am currently in my 3rd co-op placement at the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation where I am working as the Product Designer. Through co-op placements I have had the chance to put what I have learned in university into real world situations, which further deepened my understanding in theory and knowledge.”
