Why Consider an IT Career?
The Information Technology (IT) sector is growing at an unparalleled rate the world over. In fact, IT is growing so fast that many of the jobs created go unfilled because there aren't enough qualified people to fill them. This disparity between the number of available jobs and the people qualified to fill them is called the SKILLS GAP. According to the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC), in the next 2 years there will be over 30,000 new IT jobs created in Canada alone! The problem is that there are not nearly enough people qualified to fill all of these positions. That's why Microsoft Canada has developed the Skills 2000 program - to help Canadians gain the knowledge they'll need to take advantage of this Skills Gap. Through the Skills 2000 program, Microsoft is helping Canadians with even the most basic technological knowledge prepare for new, rewarding careers in the IT field. More than 7000 Canadians from every imaginable background have already been through the Skills 2000 program, and most would tell you it's changed their lives.
The Skills 2000 program can do the same thing for you. Having the desire and the courage to begin a new career is the first step. Let the Canadian Business College and Microsoft Canada partnership help you take the next one.
