I kind of thought there would be a lot of upgrading involved in post-secondary education but it wasn't like that at all, I just jumped right into the program. Computer technology is something I'm passionate about; the networking part really interested me and what business doesn't run on a computer now so there's a lot of work out there. My training at Cypress College changed my life - I'm moving on to bigger and better things!

I was stuck at my job, feeling like I needed a change, like I needed to grow. I came into Cypress College and they worked on a resume for me and a couple minutes later I was filling out paperwork for funding. I didn't think I would get grant funding because I was working at my job at the time (which I'd been at for 14 years) and I didn't think the government would be interested in helping me change my career, but I qualified! I took the Sales Management Program because I think sales skills are an excellent life tool to have. Even just socially you have to "sell" in your everyday life and learning how to represent yourself clearly and authentically is incredibly valuable. I believe that Cypress College has changed my life with all the indispensable technical skills and soft skills training I received. I got a lot more out of it than I expected. I feel like I got far more help than I was expecting to receive. Cypress College gave me the opportunity that I didn't know existed for myself.
