Overview

You have taken courses or built projects. How do you show their value to someone who does not know you? This program helps you explain what you can do, identify roles that interest you and prepare for the habits of working in a team.

Make your skills visible through a project

You begin with a technology project or coursework example and examine what it demonstrates and what is missing. You improve its presentation, explain your decisions and practice discussing your approach. Activities also cover estimation, documentation, feedback and communicating blockers.

You build a 90-day plan for learning, portfolio development and opportunity searches. The program supports your preparation for professional opportunities; it does not guarantee employment.

Workshops that move your work forward

Workshops with Joseph Kanon take place fully online, live. The format includes a shared workshop, a scheduled review for each pod and practice between sessions. Two pods of up to three participants accommodate a maximum of six people.

This program is for students from Grade 11 or equivalent in any school system through university.

The program is in preparation. Session dates will be announced before enrollment opens.

I help leaders, entrepreneurs, and technology professionals clarify ideas, shape products, make technology decisions, and resolve complex challenges. My approach starts with understanding the real problem, weighing the options, and defining a direction people can act on. I believe technology should amplify human capability. You are the intelligence; AI is the tool. Whether we are discussing architecture, applied AI, or leadership, the goal is to help you think clearly, decide confidently, and move forward.
