I was a Computer Technician with a major Corporation for 33 years when organization downsizing impacted my career. After 33 years, it was hard to fathom unemployment not to mention what to do next. I was angry, frustrated, and upset! After a few calming days of contemplation and a few weeks of unsuccessful job searches, I realized that an update to my technical skills could make me more marketable and employable. With a new resolve, I turned that anger to motivation and a new desire to succeed! I was referred to Global Information Technology (Global IT) and introduced to a program that was “on target” with my goals and aspirations. I made a decision on the to start my re-training as soon as possible. And with a little help from a Michigan Works grant, I began my training as a Network Engineering Professional in January of 2013.
Today, I have completed my training in CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, MCITP and CCNA. I have also recently completed industry-level certifications in CompTIA A+ and Network+ and I will complete my MCITP training in a few weeks. Further, I am currently on target to get my CompTIA Security+, and CCNA certifications by the Summer of 2014.
I too am amazed at the confidence I have now and even more impressed with the new skills I have acquired. I immediately found a part-time job at Network Dynamics and in January 2014, I was hired to a full-time position in my field with Chrysler Corporation which includes great pay and excellent benefits!
I am extremely grateful to Michigan Works for the grant that enabled me to fulfill my dream, and the Global IT Staff for their ongoing support and encouragement which led me to reach my training goals.
I now see a bright future ahead!
