web design graduate certificate
[music plays throughout] [bernie monette]uh, behind me are all the students from humber's web development program, which is an ontario post-graduate certificate. and it's our annual show, where the studentsget to show off their work to people from the industry. [brittany]we're all showcasing the works that we've made throughout the year,um, so far.
and then,we've also made the portfolio websites that these other projects will be featured on. our final project,which is our portfolio, which shows all of our other projects, i really went with a strategy of, of showing a lot of visuals. i kept the designvery, very simple and tried to keep it consistent with my resume and business cards, just so that i'd have some consistency and... and brand myself. [mila] this is the stage when, uh,we have something to demonstrate.
we are proud of our results. and we knowthat we can be noticed by someone, and it's a great, um, opportunity for us to meet someone here. and we were struggling a lot, and it w- it was even a little bit stressful, but it was worth it because now we're really good at web development. [ian] what i have to sayi enjoyed the most about this program is the fact that i came inknowing absolutely nothing
about the- how to build a website, and it kinda taught me,at a very gradual level, how to eventually get to where i am right now, which is hoping to eventually break in to the,the web development career path, which is pretty fantastic if you think about it after a year. i would say companies right now are looking for very common things, except more specific to what a developer is. so the teamwork skills,
being able to communicate your ideas thoroughly. the biggest one in this industry is actually the ability to just learn on your own. they need to know that you're able to do it as you're going, and you can keep up with the, the trends. [bernie]between 70 or 80 percent of our grads are working full-time as web developers,uh, within three months of graduating. what we hear back is that,you know, they're... the employers are able to give them work,
work that they might nothave been trained on, but they're able to take the skillsand the attitudes they've, they've learned at humberand that they've brought themselves and be able to succeed really well in the companies that they're working for. so the jobs students are gettingwhen they graduate are, these days,primarily is called front end jobs. so they're building out the,the front end interface that takes the informationfrom the database
and displays it on the screen. so it's within this realmthat we see the, the responsive design showing up, so that the design, you know,reacts to the, the size of the device that the, uh, visitor is using. or if the visitor is someone with a disability, that they cancontinue to use the device and have a great user experience,regardless of their situation. [phil]definitely every company
is looking for a website that looks goodon a mobile device, whereas maybe five years ago,that wasn't that big a deal. i think 2014 was the first year that mobile traffic actually exceeded, uh, desktop traffic. so that means more people were checking web pages on their phones. so i think that's probably the biggest thing. and that's already happening,if not, has happened already. i picked humber because i,i live in toronto, and it seemed like the best option for me in this area,
uh, for that kind of a program. [music fades out]
