Launched in September 2020, Microsoft’s Canada Skills Program will enable students to graduate with both a Microsoft certification, as well as an Ontario Tech credential. Ontario Tech is one of 12 Canadian post-secondary institutions joining the program to bolster the employability of students in degree, diploma, and continuing-education programs.
As a Canada Skills Program participant, Ontario Tech will combine Microsoft's curriculum alongside existing coursework, preparing students to take industry-recognized Microsoft certifications in data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
