The Technology Advantage Program brings together Nova Scotia’s education system and industry, to create a unique and focused program.


This pilot program supports students in developing the competencies and skills needed to succeed in school and to pursue a career in the technology sector. It may take up to six years to complete.


With career exploration at its core, this pilot program combines classroom learning with experiential learning that includes mentorship opportunities, internships and co-operative education placements.
