This, Brocklesby said, is meant to equip the soon-tobe graduates of the school with the requisite skills needed for the global job market. She said, “The technological growth has created an increased demand for technology-related jobs such as software developer, computer security analyst, data scientist, software engineering, and digital marketing, thus students must be prepared to participate actively in these fields.

Greensprings, is a technology-driven school, and we are constantly seeking ways to ensure that our children are well-prepared for the technology jobs of the future.
