“The programme

offered me a great opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding

of how the IT industry affects society, and gain practical skills

in the IT field. The knowledge and skills I acquired at AIS helped

me develop confidence, which in turn enabled me to secure a good position with one of the most promising IT

companies in Auckland.”- Hao Sun
