Working in IT is fun because it’s challenging, never boring and it allows you to be always on the edge of emerging trends. And there’s no shortage of good jobs either because the number of graduates in the field isn’t sufficient.

Did you know…?

The CST program is available with the option of Alternance travail-études (ATE) with 2 work sequences during the summer sessions for students meeting eligibility requirements.

A Practical Approach to Meet Technology Challenges

Modern society is using technology almost every day, everywhere. This brings up many challenges to businesses, governments and people. Technology has to be efficient. It has to help and serve people. It has to be secure. To address these challenges, we need well-trained professionals who can handle the current needs but most importantly, can create new innovative solutions to improve our daily lives, make our systems safer and make technology more useful. Our revised program addresses these issues.

The Program

Information Technology (IT) is used in all areas of businesses and industries. This offers incredible career choices to CST graduates. During your studies, you will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the most up-to-date computer-related skills. You will learn to use a variety of development tools and explore the newest technologies including game programming and connected objects.

The program has a practical approach and emphasizes the use of industry-sought structured and object-oriented techniques. Unique to Lennoxville, the program also includes more in-depth coverage of networks, security, game programming, and connected objects. The program concludes with an eight-week full-time stage where you will get a chance to apply your new skills in a real business setting.

Note:

This program is available in the Fall semester only.
