After completing my diploma in BI at Montreal College, I was able to land my first job at Bell Canada, where I am currently working with the Intelligence & Analytics team.
Vasilis Nikitaras
AT 47 I was working in a no consequence day job at a retail center. At 48, I got into Bestseller with a Diploma from MCIT. With no prior experience in Networking tools, I was able to garner enough knowledge with a specialised diploma at Montreal College, that crashed landed me right into an IT job. As a result I came back for more to MCIT to do a Diploma in Web & Java.

Montreal College has provided me with technical expertise that is critical in the technological industry. I love my progression and am thankful for my achievements due to their program and assistance. Within a year of my Diploma at MCI , I encountered over five offers from high profile companies. Despite a background in Business Management, I was able to adapt, owing to the expertise of the subject matter experts. Montreal College has provided me with technical expertise that is critical in the industry
