| Client: | BCjobs.ca |
| Project: | “My company worked on 2 separate ISSP projects with BCIT students over the past year to build a WordPress Plugin for our Jobcast product and on a data mapping project for our BCjobs.ca analytics tool. The faculty at BCIT do a great job coordinating with industry to work with their students and we found both of our student groups to be proficient in managing projects, coming up with technical solutions and working with our senior development team to build creative solutions. With one team, we added a suite of features to Jobcast and the other team mined and cleaned data to provide more accurate information for our analytics project. I highly recommend the BCIT ISSP projects to anyone looking for technical solutions for prototyping, building new applications or fine tuning an existing system.” -Ryan St. Germaine, BCjobs.ca |
