Information Technology Program

The Halifax Herald recently published an article indicating the need for IT graduates in the Atlantic Provinces. Halifax has the largest IT company in the world with a branch office located right downtown. They need new people now and into the future. They are recruiting across Canada because they cannot find qualified graduates here in Atlantic Canada.

Hackers and viruses have reached epidemic proportions and companies face a plethora of accelerating security threats. This has resulted in increased security budgets for hardware, software, and security professionals, with the need for security professionals expected to increase exponentially. The Network Security Specialist program not only trains you for these careers, but also to be a leader in guerilla warfare within this battlefield. The program starts with the core fundamentals and continuously builds and expands upon this foundation. Among the comprehensive content covered, routers and firewalls are two key areas.
