Moving into Canada from the Philippines | Education Detours and Pathways | Story of Perseverance

In our podcast, we invite a recently convocated student, Josh Roberto, who has been studying collectively eight years after his high school. After studying in the Philippines, Josh worked on his Computer Networking Technician Certification at SaskPolyTech and then spent four years completing his first undergraduate Computer Science degree program. Then, he spent another year working on his second undergraduate degree in Statistics. In our conversation with Josh, we learn about how the educational system has made it easier for students to grow over the course of the years which was much harder about ten years ago. We speak about his growth and development in terms of the academic aspect and where he hopes to land in the upcoming future. By knowing Josh’s journey, we gain a lot of insights into his experiences and the sacrifices he has made along the way. We thank him for his sharing and his time. We also hope that a lot of you were able to learn from his inspiring story as well.
