Want to start your career in tech?
Join our training program to become a software tester.
Our Indigenous Software Tester Training course is coming to Calgary and Vancouver! This course will give you the education and experience you need to become a full-time software tester with PLATO. Successful graduates are guaranteed a well-paying job that includes full benefits and paid vacation.
How does it work? Fill out the form below and one of our PLATO team members will be in touch to chat with you about the program and help you determine if it’s the right fit. Once accepted, you’ll go through five months of in-class training on the fundamentals of software testing, followed by a hands-on internship with PLATO on a client project that will put your new skills to work.
Brand new to software testing? That’s okay! Our course will teach you everything you need to know. And if you, like so many of us, spend a lot of your time on a smartphone, you will likely be more experienced than you’d think!
