Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT) — a leader in high-performance network security – is growing quickly, with an average growth rate of over 25%. To accommodate this explosive growth, we continue to expand our global presence, including our primary North America support center based in Ottawa. We have been particularly pleased with our innovative partnership with Willis College. Over the years we have worked with Willis College to leverage Fortinet’s technical expertise, unified threat management appliances, FortiGuard security services and technical curriculum to develop and expand Willis’ Technical Career program. In return, we have been fortunate enough to hire many of Willis College’s graduates. Willis College graduates join us with strong technical skills, professional communication skills and great attitudes. They have proven to be a great fit for our fast-paced, highly technical environment. Because of the excellent training these graduates receive at Willis, they’re immediately able to add real value to our organization. The fact that Willis graduates students throughout the year is particularly useful for us since our staffing needs are as dynamic as the business we support. We look forward to building on our strong relationship with Willis College, hiring many more graduates, to offer the local community opportunities for high quality technical training and great jobs in a fast-growing industry.

What Our Graduates Are Saying

Online schooling was helpful in working around my schedule. It allowed me to gain the education I needed from the comfort of my own home. Despite online classes, you receive a quick response when help is needed.
