Check out JABC TechWorks that took place in Victoria this December.
I enjoyed learning about everyone’s experiences and learning about different opportunities in the tech industry.
My highlight was when I saw the demonstration of the robotic arms’ scanning technology for handling sensitive products and cars.
Overall, it [Surrey TechWorks] was well organized, good lunch, great workshops. I would take students again.
I think it was really cool to hear from people who worked on some of my favourite movies, like the Spiderman.
I think the program was great and would definitely recommend this to someone looking to learn more about the tech field.
I must say that the videos were superb! They highlighted the broad competencies required by the Tech career clusters, gave a good overview of the type of responsibilities of each occupation, and helped students understand the eclectic training and on-the-job training required for each career highlighted.
Thank you.
