The Technology Solutions strand is for student associates who are interested in exploring careers and developing skills in multiple areas of technology; these are some of the most highly sought-after skills in the overall job market today!

While background knowledge and skills are extremely beneficial, pre-existing expertise in the subject matter is not necessary to be successful in this strand. Student associates will explore a range of opportunities, including software engineering, website development, coding, app development, and database management. Technical skills developed in this strand vary from year to year, depending on industry partner projects and internship focus. Strong emphasis is placed on programming methodology, problem-solving using multiple technical languages, algorithm design and development, data abstraction, and debugging strategies.
