Fabienne has been working at IBM since 2005 as an IT Administrator, maintaining databases and operating systems for large corporations. Although she considered going to university, the job offers flooding her way after CEGEP graduation were “too good to pass up.” Fabienne entered the work force and currently balances her career with family life. Her responsibilities at IBM are incredibly challenging, while remaining “interesting, fun, and lush with opportunities.” Within the next ten years Fabienne hopes to be a Senior IT Manager.

Roly wanted to be a musician but found Computer Science to be “a milder form of rebellion.” He “always liked computers and used them to practice guitar and playing back tracks”. In fact he continued to play music on the weekends while working toward a comfortable future. “I knew that workplace experience would get me farther than any diploma once I had the basic skills. University wasn’t for me.” Roly hopes to work for himself someday as an IT consultant with an emphasis on complex networking systems. For now, he enjoys a rewarding job within a growing company, in a city he loves.
