Tom Chambers, graduate of the Mobile Application Development program at Georgian College
With the Mobile Application Development (MDEV) program at Georgian College, I moved from struggling to break into the industry to choosing between job offers within a week. Before enrolling in program, I was a self-taught developer, eager but struggling to establish myself in the mobile development industry. The program turned out to be a game-changer for me. It simulated a realistic work environment, emphasized the value of teamwork, and even provided hands-on experience of publishing an app on the Google Play Store.

The invaluable lessons I learned about coding architecture have been a cornerstone of my professional development. Within a week of completing the MDEV program, I found myself in a position I could only dream of before – choosing between two job offers. I accepted one and it turned out to be the job I’ve always aspired to have. Now, over a year later, I find my job as rewarding and engaging as when I started. The MDEV program did more than help me land a job; it kickstarted a fulfilling career that I deeply cherish.
