Byron Thomas, Director of Career Development, is excited about the updated program that Herzing College Toronto is now able to offer. “Cloud is the future. More and more employers are requesting employees who are knowledgeable in the many uses of cloud technology to increase their efficiency in communication, while consumers are seeing the benefit of cloud for sharing and storing their music, pictures, and just about everything. Really, the sky is the limit!”
