“With the direction that business around the world is going, in the very near future almost anybody in business or in a leadership role is going to need to have, at the very least, an understanding of the capabilities of blockchain technology,” says Geoff Wilmshurst, Vice President, Partnerships at Camosun College. “We’re very excited to provide this cutting edge knowledge to our community with our valued partner, Blockchain Guru.”

Blockchain, along with IoT (Internet of Things) AI (Artificial Intelligence), and RBA (Robotic Process Automation), is one of the big technologies transforming the world of business and the world.

Blockchain is a digital database that can make any kind of deals or transactions more transparent and secure without the need for an intermediary. Blockchains are used when multiple parties, perhaps located across the world, need to share data and transfer value.

"There is a huge demand for developers and project professionals and Camosun is a leader in delivering training on Vancouver Island."
