Everest College

This past week WebCanada was invited to speak at Everest College. One of our senior developers, Andy Zarzycki and myself prepared several topics ranging from industry trends to differentiating yourself in the job market. The goal was to give students some insight into the day of a life as a developer. On our end, it was a good opportunity for WebCanada to showcase what we do and our passion for it.

After providing a little bit of background on the company and ourselves, we dove into the nitty gritty about skills we use every day and what we wish we had learned in school. We were pleased to see students engage the presentation as we progressed into advice on breaking into the industry. Perhaps the most successful topic was emerging trends in web development. We were able to share a few case studies involving our current work. The presentation wrapped up with some great Q&A and there were a few points I am sure we could have extended into presentations themselves.
