The IBM Toronto Lab is able to access all courses and training available to IBM Canada employees. Click here for more information on this training and development.
In addition, we also have an internal Skills Centre at our Lab site. The Skills Centre holds 5,500 circulating items and subscribes to more than 80 business and industry journals, as well as daily newspapers and several hundred digital subscriptions. The Skills Centre also provides computer-based tutorials, resources on audio and video tapes, and onsite classroom courses on "hot" technical topics and business skills.
The IBM Toronto Lab is a founding member of the CONGESE program. If accepted to this program, you can take your master's degree in software engineering on a part-time basis, while working full-time. The program is exciting because the top professors in Ontario in every field are flown to Toronto on a regular schedule, to hold their courses at the Lab. So not only do you get to learn from some of the best professors in their field, but you don't have to leave the building to do so!
IBM appreciates the technical skill of all employees in software development, and encourages breakthrough thinking through their formal patent process. This program pays employees through every stage of the patent registration process, from the initial disclosure through to final registration. In 2001, Toronto Lab employees received 20 software patents. Overall, the IBM Corporation was granted the greatest number of U.S. patents for the ninth year in a row. In 2002, we received 3,288 patents with software patents accounting for more than a third.
