Welcome to ISSD!

Hi All! My name is Karen Zuke and I'm in the final stretch of the Internet Systems Specialist Diploma (ISSD 19) program. I can not believe there are only three weeks remaining.

I'm happy to be sharing my thoughts and tips with you on my experience in the ISSD program.

First off, I should tell you that I'm from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba ; I've been commuting the entire year! That's about 3 hours a day in car. So far, the rough calculation is over 50,000 kilometers! It certainly is a commitment, but it's well worth it.

Make the commitment to upgrade your skills!

After several years of working for the same company, I made the decision to go back to school full time. It was a difficult decision, but I felt work was not rewarding enough and I needed more.

For me, it was that nagging feeling that life is passing by and I needed to do more. I needed more life challenge and more skills. The ISSD program does deliver on both! I had some limited technical work experience, but the ISSD program has expanded my knowledge to much more!

My advice to you if you're thinking about going back to school... It's never too late too start, you just need to make the leap.
