Hi I am from Toronto, Canada and as its pretty hard to find a job at the moment. Should I get a certification in PLC technician and Robotics technician from George Brown College. I have a scholarship from them from High School. I don't know if they will help me. These are 32 weeks online FT programs. I have been out for 6 months and no jobs yet :(.
