Program Spotlight: Web and Interactive Development

When’s the best time to start a career in coding? Right now!

Technology is essential to daily life and advancements are constant, and it could be you behind the scenes, pulling the strings to create elevated digital experiences. Apps, websites, and computer programs all have real people behind them, ensuring everything runs smoothly for users.

And providing that experience in efficient, intuitive and engaging ways is expected in today’s advanced world. That’s where you come in. Our two-year Web and Interactive Development diploma is where technology meets creativity—where students study emerging visual technologies that extend, replace and enhance our realities (virtual, augmented and mixed reality applications).

Studying the fundamentals of programming and mobile app development, students learn how to customize web content for an audience, function and purpose—ultimately developing online solutions that deliver results. While working on purpose-driven assignments for real-life clients looking for innovative web presences, you’ll be able to flex your creative muscle, constructing online spaces that propel businesses and community organizations forward.

In this program, you’ll learn by doing in Assiniboine’s new, leading-edge Centre for Creative Media. This 10,000+ sq. ft. facility was designed to enhance the student experience, with the desires of industry employers in mind. Featuring immersive and collaborative learning areas, your skillset will excel and grow in this space.

Learning from instructors with extensive industry experience, working on community-based assignments, and completing an industry practicum ensures you’re well-equipped to start your career in multimedia. Graduates may go on to work for web development and marketing agencies, game development studios and software companies, and doing notable work on films, video games and digital designs to support ad campaigns.

Get ready to hone your digital craft and re-think what’s possible. Using emerging technologies and engaging interfaces, you’ll learn how to make an impact with memorable online experiences. Take what once was static and make it interactive. Take what’s cutting-edge and build on it. Take your passion for the web and launch a career that will enhance the web as we know it.
