Get with the Program

Middle Years Focus on IT (MyFIT) is a program designed for Canadian middle school students who want to learn real-world skills.

The program was created by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC). It is an innovative program that allows students like YOU to gain essential ICT and business skills while completing your diploma.

With MyFIT, you will learn real-world digital and ICT (information and communications technology) skills that you can use in secondary school and even in your future career, whichever direction that takes.

No matter what your interests are, everyone can benefit from gaining ICT and digital skills.

All kinds of careers are becoming more and more dependent on technology, from medicine to manufacturing, from energy to agriculture.

Starting to learn digital and ICT skills now will help you in secondary school and whatever you decide to do afterwards!

It’s never too soon to start exploring your interests.

MyFIT is built around 3 main building blocks (or concentrations) that help expand your understanding of technology and help build skills you will need for the future. The MYFIT Aptitude and Technological Skills are applied to a real-world business scenario.
