I just wanted to express my feelings about Global Information Technology and their staff. First let me say I have never encountered an organization that cares about the students as much as GIT. After working many years for an automotive supplier in the auto industry I found myself unemployed, without a degree or any certifications and having difficulty finding another job related to that industry.
I was in need of a career change and I decided the IT field was the area for me. Thanks to the Michigan Works agency I was able to gain assistance accessing funds for IT training. Choosing the right school was a very hard and difficult decision to make seeing as my future was at stake, I can’t explain how tough it was going from the bread winner and family provider to not having a job at all. Now I had to make the important decision of choosing the IT training provider that I felt was right for me, remember my future was at stake here and I couldn’t afford to get this wrong. I looked at quite a few IT training schools when considering a change in careers and pursuing the training necessary to achieve success. And the one that caught my eye had the slick radio ads, fancy office space they were leasing and exorbitant pricing. Well let me just say they are no longer around, and I know I made the right decision when I chose to get my training at GIT. They not only offered technical training but also provided non IT training workshops covering everything from creating the perfect resume, interviewing techniques to the value of networking, salary negotiation.
We all know that they are a business and they must maintain a profit margin that allows them to function, make payroll and stay in business. But with that in mind Global Information Technology still place a very high priority in their students success. The school is flexible with their schedule understanding that some students have to work and things happen. My account manager is a genuine professional who doesn’t just sign you up for a program and walk away. He has an open door and your concerns are his concerns, he will try to do whatever he can to accommodate your situation. And their student services manager is the best, she will go out of her way to see that your needs are met. When I say out of her way I definitely mean out of her way! I can’t say enough about the job placement manager who in my mind is the best at what she does. She has years of experience and has developed many contacts and resources which she utilizes in helping students get their IT careers moving forward. I have witnessed her go above and beyond what is required of her in trying to help students find jobs. Trust me when I say she is the best!
The instructors are true professionals who have real workplace experience that are there for you even after you have completed their classes. The state of the art labs are equipped with the latest technology providing the students with a real world work place training environment. The school manager always gave me encouragement and constantly emphasized staying positive and not giving up.
Since starting my classes at GIT I have achieved various certifications such as CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Certified Professional for XP and ISA Server 2006 towards MCSE and Oracle SQL. And I don’t plan on stopping there I have many more certifications to obtain in the future. However by obtaining my certifications through Global Information Technology I positioned myself to start a new career in the IT field and now have a new job in IT as a Technical Support Representative. At Global Information Technology I felt like I was family and not just a contract pushed through the door and for that I say thank you to the staff of GIT!
Keep up the good work and launching more IT professional careers.
