One in 10 jobs in Vancouver are now in tech here's how you can break into the industry

With ransomware attacks, cloud breaches, and data privacy concerns all part of daily life now, cybersecurity has become one of the most critical areas in tech.  VCC’s Cybersecurity Governance, Risk, and Compliance program prepares students to protect the systems of governments, businesses, and large institutions.

It’s a post-degree diploma designed for those who already hold a degree and want to specialize in this high-demand field. Students gain practical knowledge in cybersecurity frameworks and governance, risk assessment and mitigation strategies, and more.

The program’s hands-on philosophy was exemplified through a unique partnership with global tech company Tencent. In collaboration with Tencent, students helped to design and build an operational, enterprise-grade data centre at Cologix, Vancouver’s leading colocation data centre provider.

The partnership proved so successful that several students were retained in long-term support roles, demonstrating exactly how experiential learning at VCC can change career trajectories.

Interested? Start dates begin in September 2026, and the program runs for two years.
