“SAIT was the perfect fit for my career progression. A quick background story,
my aunt and uncle are currently living in Calgary and it was our intention (my
husband and I) to reunite with them. Conveniently, as Calgary is located in Alberta
which is well-known for its oil and gas industries, choosing Calgary as our city of
destination also aligned with my career plan – to work in chemical industries.”
So, I decided to re-enter the academe after 10 years of being away and
familiarize myself with the updates in chemical technology. Way back in 2017, SAIT
is the only school that offered the program that fit my needs – basic chemistry
refresher with practical hands-on experience that will equip me for the Canadian job
market, all in just 2 years. On top of this, Chemical Laboratory Technology diploma
program also has the option of a 1-year paid job placement, an excellent opportunity
to connect with future employers while earning money on the side. Further
research only strengthened my decision of studying at SAIT. This institution is a
perfect place for mature students like me who aims to learn industry-specific skills.”
