Professions of the future - master any profession in Canada in 1-2 years
An event on the professions of the future was recently held. It featured speakers from leading Canadian colleges and information from the Canadian Embassy.
I'll be honest, the more I immerse myself in education in Canada, the more often I think about going back to school: there are so many prospects for university graduates.
I studied programming at a Ukrainian university, and we were taught programming languages that were no longer in use back then. There was just an outdated curriculum, which has changed little over the years. To this day, I don't understand why we had such disciplines as sociology, philosophy and history. I, as a programmer, never needed them.
I learned very little useful things during my 5 years of study, most of the things that came in handy in my life, I mastered on my own. And now almost none of my classmates are working as programmers.
Education in Canada
In Canada, education is arranged differently. To become a programmer, you only have to study 1-2 years and then get a Canadian permanent residency. By the way, when you go to college you can get a scholarship of up to $10,000 CAD — in various programs, not only in programming.
At the event, the representative of Humber College from Toronto said that in Canadian universities the curriculum and each program are developed in collaboration with the Government of Canada and companies where students are then recruited. The programs are regularly updated in accordance with the demands of the labor market. I think this is a very important point: not only do you get a diploma, but the road to future opens for you: you get a job and then you get enough points to get a permanent residency, i.e. you immigrate to Canada.
