Eligible students participate in a 15-week work practicum placement in the computer industry with a local business in the Pembina Valley Region. Practicum placements provide students with relevant practical experience, education of on-the-job procedures, and development of valuable contacts.
Work practicum is a mandatory component of the Diploma Program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum. MITT does not guarantee practicum placements when sufficient placements are not available, or when students are not selected by employers. In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.
MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
