I have been with the City for 30 years now and let me tell you 30 years may seem like a long time but when you are having fun the time passes very quickly. The Computer Systems Technology Program provides the student with a solid foundation in business data processing, database concepts, and data communication systems. These concepts are all oriented toward the business field and are supported by courses in operating systems, accounting, communications, and business organization. The demand is extremely high and I expect the demand to continue into the foreseeable future. Yes if anything I foresee the demand at least continuing and even increasing.
Technology changes every day and it is important to stay current.
All areas from Web technologies to desk top are changing every day and it is a continuous challenge to try and keep abreast of these changes. I am currently providing the Business Partner role to a larger Department here at the City. As well I am the Manager of the City's Infrastructure group. This includes the Network group, UNIX group, The Distributed Print Center, the Exchange group and the Facilities Management group. Well as I explained the skills I learned at NAIT enabled me to get a job immediately in my field of choice.
