In May 2023, he became a full-time faculty member working in SADT and SAIT’s School of Business.įor his commitments to the SAIT community and his passion for empowerment through technology, Sadique was awarded SAIT’s 2023 President’s Medal. In January 2023, he joined SAIT’s School for Advanced Digital Technology (SADT) as a part-time instructor while also working in his IT role. Shortly before completing his program, he was offered a position with SAIT’s IT team where he worked for several months. It was a wonderful experience volunteering with SAITSA and to be part of discussions with the Interfaith society.” “I made very meaningful connections with my instructors, students, and other staff members. This experience inspired Sadique to actively involve himself throughout SAIT in a number of ways. He was completely taken in by the positive spirit and energy of the event. His first exposure to student life on campus was the 2021 Big SAIT Welcome. “I was doing something that I wanted to do, reskilling, but I never thought I would be able to do that with a toddler and infant at home … but the online learning helped me transition into a learning phase, and the recorded sessions let me catch up on any content I had difficulty with.” His passion for helping people with technology and recommendations from friends led him to enroll in the Information Technology program at SAIT - a return to post-secondary education after over a decade. That day after dropping his delivery off at SAIT, Sadique spent some time exploring campus and liked what he saw. It felt like I was contributing my part to make this world a happier place.” “The trivial things that a lot of people take for granted can be challenges for others … I was able to help people get hold of confusing technology, and it gave me immense pleasure. “I came across a lot of people struggling with technology,” he recalls. His experiences working at London Drugs and as a Tech Mentor sparked a passion for helping people feel empowered through technology. He also continued volunteering at the Calgary Public Library as a Tech Mentor. With two small children at home and Anjoom pursuing further education, Sadique had to work as a food delivery driver on top of his job at London Drugs. ![]() Arriving in Calgary in late 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic would dramatically impact their situation. With the decision to start a new life in Calgary, the family was excited by what lay ahead, not to mention the news that they were expecting their second child. “Another reason was to move someplace where we could call home that offers better living standards for our family.” “Once you’re established in your career, it becomes difficult to change your job profile since your residency is dependent on your job,” he explains. However, his constant search for new opportunities led him to explore some life-changing decisions. For the next eight years, Sadique and his partner Anjoom built a life in the UAE, making great friends and starting a family. ![]() Sadique completed an MBA in India in 2010 and shortly after moved to Dubai to pursue a career at Sony Electronics, where he worked on their product marketing and branding team. “It gives me new challenges to solve constantly and keeps me occupied and learning new things,” he says. Sadique grew up in a small village in Kerala, India and has had a curious and inquisitive mind for as long as he can remember. “I was worried about the weather, but then I decided to take on the adventure of going from plus 50 to minus 40 degrees.” “Canada was not in the plan initially,” says Sadique. His passion for exploring new opportunities and making the world a happier place has taken Sadique and his family from India to the United Arab Emirates and then Canada. He never imagined that three years later, he’d graduate with his third post-secondary credential and join SAIT’s faculty as an instructor.
