What it is
ICTC, in partnership with Microsoft Canada, has established a program that aims to advance job seekers who are looking for an opportunity to add to their existing technical skills and diversify their professional experience. This innovative, employment-readiness initiative, also known as the Digital Equity and Employability Pathways (DEEP) program, works with underrepresented individuals from across the country in an effort to train and upskill talent looking to grow their careers in an ICT or digital field in Canada.
