Student, Computer Science

CREATE has given me (and hundreds of others) the ability to study my future career path in an environment similar to workspaces today. I feel better prepared for the future with the hands-on and in-depth learning I have been provided at CREATE.

CREATE is reshaping education and training by providing an opportunity for both students and adults to acquire essential skills and qualifications in high wage/high demand fields across our region.
