Chantel Mitchener - Service Desk Analyst, Unisys
I chose CPP, because I liked the idea of flexible study shifts. I could still work during the day and look after my daughter at the same time, she was only 2 when I started my studies. The instructors at CPP where awesome and helpful. I liked the idea that you could ask them a question via email and they would come and help you while you were on the floor.
