BMM Testlabs Provides Jobs to CCNB ‘Testing Curriculum’ graduates
BMM Testlabs is pleased to announce it is providing jobs to five graduates of the BMM-designed Testing/QA course at CCNB (College Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick). BMM was contracted to build the curriculum in 2015 for New Brunswick students, leading a year-long development of curriculum and course outlines, for a one and a two year program. The process involved a number of industry partners to review and provide feedback, including IGT, PQA, Mariner and TSI Auto Solutions. This is the first time that CCNB has provided a course of this type. Jean Corriveau, CTFL, PMP, Director of Operations of BMM Testlabs in Canada commented, “The high quality of the curriculum has been incredibly well matched to the high quality of students completing the course. As promised, students attending the course at CCNB were able to couple hands-on training at BMM with their classroom study. Through this program BMM has already offered student internships to four individuals and we have provided five students from the first class with full-time positions.” Linda Lemieux, SVP BMM Testlabs Canada stated, “As the industry’s most experienced test lab, it is very important for us to share our expertise with the community and encourage students to look to the testing industry as a career. Through these programs we not only ensure that the New Brunswick community continues to be a center of excellence for technology-based business, but we can train new test engineers in BMM’s methods and procedures long before they start work, giving them a real head-start in the industry.” Corriveau added, “BMM would like to congratulate all the students who are graduating on June 18th from the year-long, BMM designed, software testing and QA courses at CCNB and we wish them all the very best of luck in their future careers.” BMM looks forward to the continued success of the students within the program and expansion to other Community Colleges, both French and English, within the province over the coming...
