I began the northStudio.com Inc. Web Designer Certificate Program and 6 month Internship in the fall of 2002. I started with basically no web design skills and medium computer skills.
After my courses I had developed web design knowledge and skill in graphic design but it was the Internship that really made the difference. Working right in the office along side people who have been in the business for years was where I gained the most valuable training. The answers to all of my problems were solved with one question to a team member beside or behind me.
After completing my 6 Web Designer Internship I had the knowledge and skill to get a job in the field or start my own business. After being involved in the business and learning what it takes to excel in this field, I decided to take my training to the next level and enrolled in the Web Application Programming Certificate Program and 6 month Programming Internship. After 3 months of courses I began my Programming Internship, working under the instruction of a programmer with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Once again anything I needed to know was one question away. By the end of Internship I had learned enough through the training and my own hard work to be offered a job as a Web Application Programmer and Designer with northStudio.com Inc.
Some of the project I have worked on are below
LodgingChannel.com – (re-development, data entry, bug fixes, seo, etc.)
SchoolVictoria.com -
BuildingTradesBC.com - (entire site except template design)
I have also updated and managed many web site including:
EslSchoolVictoria.com
SoulHarp.com
VacationRentalsVictoria.ca
OakLaneVictoria.com
RondelVillage.com
TheBletheringPlace.ca
VictoriaLodging.com
This summer I have had the privilege of participating in northStudio.com's
Web Design Internship program. I found the northStudio team to
be extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help me succeed.
During the three-month program I participated in ongoing client
projects, designed several sites independently and gained valuable
software instruction from skilled professionals.
I highly recommend the internship program - northStudio.com's unique combination of classroom instruction plus practical work experience proved to be a rewarding opportunity and provided a beneficial complement to my collegiate studies.
