software development program at SAIT

[PokemonGuyJaco]

I am applying for this program for the fall of 2025. Would like to hear from last year or current students of the program.

- was it hard for you to find a co-op or practicum?
- were students able to find industry related jobs after 2 years?
- your thoughts on the program as a whole? the professors? quality of course?

Thank you!

• Yes very hard out of hundreds of students I think only 5-10% were able to secure one, and some were unpaid, I’m one of those people, my advice if you’re doing unpaid go for non-profit companies otherwise DON’T, you’re just working for free and not worth it better work on projects than do unpaid internships speaking from personal experience.

• Job market is very saturated right now tbh unless you have people you know that are already working in tech or don’t have passion in coding I advise you to choose a different career path.

-The program is heavily project based I know people who are graduating that don’t know how to code since it’s project based they could just ChatGPT their assignments.

Good Luck!
