The Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology has launched two new programs for students in health care and cybersecurity. The two-year Medical Assistant and Patient Care diploma program trains students to work on health-care teams in setting such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. The Cybersecurity Analyst advanced diploma program takes two and a half years to complete and prepares students to work as cybersecurity professionals who protect organizations from cyber threats. “At MITT we are in constant discussion with our industry partners to keep a pulse on the workforce needs within our province,” said MITT VP of Business Development and Community Initiatives Bev Stuart.
