I finished the Computer Information Technology program and got my diploma. From my experience, its much easier to get a job if you get into the co-op program; that is compete against all of the CIT and CST students and get 1 of the 30 spots. The minimum requirement on paper was 70% at the time and it only counts your first term mark, but in actuality, its more around 80%. Its not hard, but it requires a lot of time and dedication to your homework and studying. Try hard for that first term if you do want to get into co-op.

That being said, I have friends who are now in their respective career jobs that came out of the same program as I, ie. web designer, IT consulting, network administrator. The most important part is to network yourself. Having many connections gives you a much greater advantage over others and in life as well. One connection may spark many others. Be personable.
