"Before joining MCIT’s SAP Supply Chain Management program, I had no ERP experience. The hands-on SAP training in Procurement, Inventory, and Production Planning made complex concepts easy to understand. Thanks to the practical labs and expert instructors, I quickly gained the skills to work on real business processes. Soon after graduating, I started my new role as a Supply Chain Analyst using SAP every day."

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.

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.
