“During my time at YVR, I gained specific technical knowledge about Cybersecurity. I finished the internship with a wealth of knowledge about securing networks and systems, especially large and complex enterprise infrastructure. The First Nations Technology Council provided not only a solid foundation but also opened the door to a world of possibilities in a thriving career.”
