Success Story Niagara West Employment & Learning Resource Centres, Beamsville

“We hired two students from the third year in IT from Niagara College as our technical support six years ago.  They were summer students but one remained as our “weekend mole”.  We could only pay him a small amount but he came in on Saturday’s at any time of the day or night to maintain the computer labs.  Subsequently he provided recommendations for purchases and upgrading of the networks etc.  He is still with us and persuaded us two years ago to invest in voiceover technology.  He and his partner both are at University in IT, have other part time jobs, but still continue to maintain and support our computer-networked labs as part of our staff team.”
