I am a student of Computek College in Markham. [D]uring my time at Computek College, I was very pleased with the course content and placement services that the college provided. I completed my placement at St. George Brampton Church. My experience working with them was really good and [helped me learn] more about community service work. I’m sure it will help me open new employment opportunities as a CSW.
