“Cybersecurity is top of mind for many businesses in Brampton and across the globe,” said Councillor Jeff Bowman, Economic Development Chair. “The Chang School programming, and future plans for the downtown, present great opportunities for our highly diverse and talented residents to build professional skills for in-demand jobs.”
The Chang School is committed to education and lifelong learning, providing relevant, quality educational programming geared toward adult learners. “We are very much looking forward to bringing these crucial course offerings to the Brampton community and to preparing the next wave of technology-sector workers for the future challenges of cybersecurity,” said Dr. Marie Bountrogianni, Dean, The G.
