What are we pilot testing?

The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is creating an online learning workshop that will teach essential information about the ICT sector and ICT employment in Canada. This learning workshop  will be launching at the end of June 2009. ICTC is conducting pilot testing throughout May to ensure that the workshop will be beneficial each of their needs. You will have the opportunity to see the workshop being developed and influence what they will include before they go live to the public.

ICTC is getting people involved across Canada and overseas to develop the subject matter, to test the tool and to provide feedback will ensure that we will have valuable and essential information to help ICT newcomers come to Canada.
