Information and Communication Technology is the sector that processes information using electronic systems. The ICT sector continues to transform our economy and everyday life. Core industries in this sector include: Communications systems (e.g., telecommunications, cable/broadband, broadcasting, and other program distribution systems); Computer systems (e.g., computer engineering, technical support, electronics, robotics, network engineering); Software and digital media (e.g., computer programming, computer and video games, simulations, computer animation, data management, web design, web portals, and Internet security). 

Students choose a bundle of Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses in their choice of technical areas: Computer Engineering, Computer Hardware, Programming and Networking. SHSM students enrolled in the ICT complement their academic learning with a co-op work experience, earn a variety of ICT based certifications and participate in reach-ahead activities that complement the curriculum. Many of our SHSM ICT students also earn their FIT (Focus on IT certificate).
