"By the time the third and final course in the program was finishing, I had already interviewed successfully with Nova Scotia Department of Community Services for a Business Analyst role. And although I had little experience in that specific role, the things I learned in the program turned out to be directly applicable to the role, and I was able to hit the ground running."
