Dear Global Information Technology:

If it were not for you my future in Information Technology would be completely uncertain.

My name is Meontre and before Global IT I was working low paying side computer repair jobs and retail computer/computer part sales. During that time in my life I learned some minor basic computer stuff but nothing really concrete or skills that were IT ready to get me in the door.

In the summer of 2018 after getting let go from my employer earlier in the year I decided it was time for a CHANGE. Through MI works they introduced me to Global IT and I am glad they did. As a school for information Tech, Global IT took my existing skills that I have learned and boosted them to a much greater degree by expanding my knowledge and showing me the correct way on how to be a PC tech and become the best tech I can be.

Now I am CompTIA A+ certified and working my dream job as a PC tech making a livable wage with great benefits. No more dead-end jobs for me.

Manish – I am writing to say thank you. I thank God for Global Information Technology. I thank God for you, because you genuinely care about the direction of the student. I thank God for believing in me, for coaching me, and for helping me. I thank God for everyone at Global Information Technology for being so kind to me.

Who knew I would be approved for a grant to study IT and become certified, and be offered a job in IT? I didn’t. The power of someone believing in me and giving me the courage to try is the reason why I’m doing better today. I don’t deserve it. And I am grateful.

I was unemployed – Now I’m employed.
I was making less money – Now I’m making more.
I was on my feet all day at my other job – Now I have a job that requires a chair and a desk.
I worked in retail – now I have a better job in IT.
I had almost given up about my life and future – Now I have not given up about my life and future.
Rejection and time convinced me to stop striving, despite having an MBA from a prestigious school. But now my self-esteem is beginning to be built again.

May I be not like the nine lepers who were healed by Jesus, yet who did not say thank you, but like the one who returned to thank Him. Luke 17:11-19.

Global Information Technology has been good to me. It has lifted me up and given me courage.

Thank you,
Samar Gorial

I have always prided myself in further educating myself. I have a bachelors, and during that time while working, I got my MBA. Throughout my career, I was lead to believe that loyalty and education will keep you ahead of the game and employed.

One day, after 18 years of service at my job, I was called into an early conference and was job eliminated. They provided no reasons or why. At this point, I was jobless for the first time in my life. I felt hopeless and ashamed. I had to rely on savings and unemployment for the first time in my life which was not a good point in my life.

However, one day through unemployment service I decided to take up classes to learn/improve my skills. This was lifesaving and proved to be a blessing in disguise. At Global Information Technology, I got introduced to a school that cares about the individual’s success. They invited me into their family and allowed me to take classes that will enable me to get back on track and again to work. This was exactly what I needed. Global Information Technology gave me the knowledge, skill, support, guidance, and confidence which I needed to get back out in the world and find a new opportunity.

I am happy to say that I accepted a new position with a better company with better pay. This new job was a blessing and a fantastic opportunity to shine. I could not have gotten back working so quickly and prepared if it hadn’t been for Global IT. Thank you Global Information Technology to press reset on my career !!

In the beginning of this year I lost my job as a landscaping and gardening supply store operations manager when the store, Detroit Farm and Garden, went out of business. After reviewing the Web site and visiting a few of the institutions, I decided to enroll at Global Information Technology.

I was impressed with this school’s longevity in the IT training world and the number of satisfied alumni that posted positive testimonials about their experiences at the school. I was even more impressed with the school when I had a chance to sit down with the school’s director, Mr. Manish Modi. He took the time to sit down with me personally, review my history and resume, and develop a program that was a perfect fit with my experience and goals.

The quality of the instructors and helpfulness of the support staff was excellent; combining years of real-world IT work experience and classroom instruction, years of contacts and resources in the Metro-Detroit IT industry, they definitely prepared me to not only pass my certification exams (to date I have achieved my A+ certification, and am preparing to take my Network+ exam at the end of this month [09/18]) but found me  full-time IT employment even before I completely finished my training!

If it were not for the excellent training and services at Global Information Technology, I would not have the position I have today but would still be hopelessly scrolling through want ads, unemployed. Global Information Technology  is a great asset for both Metro-Detroit and the State of Michigan, and I am very grateful that they took a chance on me and allowed me to start on this exciting and rewarding new career path.

I joined Global IT’s Software QA & Testing, Oracle 12c SQL, and Oracle JAVA SE 8 programming from February 2018 to June 23, 2018. The Director at Global Information Technology tailored my courses to fit my career path and goals. The QA Testing course was perfect timing for me as well as relevant to the job I was being trained in at Infosys, and helped me in my day to day field work. The teacher took his time to make sure everyone was engaged in the QA testing course and it was a wonderful experience.

Then I joined Java SE 8 course at Global IT. So I have been spending every Saturday from 9 to 5 at Global IT for several months. I recently received another job offer at Renkim Corp as a .NET Developer and started work on June 27th 2018. I continued to take the Java course because the object-oriented concepts are the same for both Java and .Net. I can honestly say the curriculum at Global IT was more beneficial because it is slow-paced, job oriented and more detailed then any fast paced boot camp. The technology taught is current and relevant to the high-demand ever evolving field. Keep it up Global IT to provide the high-quality technical training to students for years to come. Thank you Global Information Technology for all your help and support.

I enjoyed working for Global Information Technology on project as well as at the class. The management is very helpful and approachable when needed. I got very good opportunity to learn new tools and technologies and also to implement them. They provide very good support for their students in determining their areas of interest, provide training accordingly and assist them in their job placement. They are tied with very good clients in and around Michigan to help their students get internships and good exposure to the IT industry. They are up to date with the latest tools and technologies in the market. I liked the management who always help and support their staff. They are here to make a difference in the society.

I’d like to take my time to thank you and GIT for your wonderful assistance with getting me into a successful IT Career. You and your staff demonstrated great care in ensuring that I was able to be placed in a great job after completing my classes at the school, offering help with resume creation and recommendation letters.

With the small class room sizes and great teachers it made the whole learning process a great experience, especially for someone like me who loves to ask a lot of questions. I felt the teacher’s always very knowledgeable due to their real world experience on the subjects and extensive certifications.

Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do to ensure my life is a success! I am so grateful for all the continued support you and your staff offer me even years after I completed my training. Thank you Global Information Technology for changing my life and made me who I am today – successful IT Professional.

Dear Manish:

I wanted to also take this opportunity to thank you, and the Staff at Global IT. You and your staff all really changed my life. I know you all know my story and where I came from and where I am now. If it were not for how you conduct classes, and the extra care you show your students I would not be where I am today. I really do appreciate all that You did for me, and continue to do. You are all Rock Stars!

When I started at Global IT, I was Living in a homeless shelter for Veterans. They worked with me to help me attend school, and helped me get placed into a Job, when that first Job did not work out, they helped me recover from that situation to rebound into another Job. The help they gave me allowed me to make the transition from being Homeless to have a Place to live. Their constant support helped me through the very depressing time of being homeless. I would highly reccoment Global Information Technology to anyone that Is interested in getting into the IT Industry. They really changed my life for the better.

At college graduation, I thought that a major part of my life was behind me. I would finally get the opportunity to live out life the way I was advised as a child: go to school, get a degree, get a safe and secure job. Unfortunately, I didn’t dare anticipate what was actually ahead of me: struggling to find employment, low, substandard pay (in comparison to tuition, time spent, and my level of expertise), and not being able to feed myself or my family. After a decade in school and with a Master’s degree in my hand, I was essentially unsuccessful and failing those I loved. I was suffocated by student loan debt, saddled with limited options, and had no clear direction for relief until I found Global Information Technology.

At Global IT, I found kindness, breadth of knowledge, and authentic concern for my well-being. From my very first training consultation, I knew that this is where I wanted to take my next step. I not only benefited from the small class size, but the teachers always made themselves more than available and had real, relevant knowledge to share, not just “book” knowledge. Also, the staff has not only been supportive, but some I can honestly say are now my friends. Further, and very important, I appreciate Global IT’s ability to help me transition quickly into the workforce. Whereas I spent 10 years within one field and felt like I was drowning, at Global IT, after only six weeks, I’m in a new job, in a new career field with likeminded people, and have ample opportunity for advancement and pay raises. Honestly, after this short amount of time, I’m just starting, and my pay is already the same as with the Master’s degree.

The way I see it, you can spend 10 years following potentially advice that did not produce the intended results, or you can spend a month and half and find yourself in a new career with certifications and advancement opportunities that could literally take you to any place around the world!

Now, I can help provide for those I love and they can finally and surely see me how I see myself, succeeding, winning, and on the road to better.

As a United States Army veteran, I participated in four (4) combat tours and a tour of duty to South Korea. I am a three (3) time veteran of Iraq, serving in various capacities in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) I, III and Operation New Dawn (OND) which ended the war in Iraq in December 2011. Additionally, I deployed to Afghanistan for the first time in January 2014. I enlisted in the Army Reserves for some time and enrolled in the Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at Saint John’s University, in Queens New York, in September 1999 and was commissioned on June 2 2001. I was a New York state resident until November 2015, which is when I moved to Michigan to stay.

 

I made what was probably an audacious and less than sagacious move to come to Michigan without any guarantee of a job, but it was the conversation I had with the Director, Mr. Manish Modi; that motivated me to enroll at Global Information Technology (GIT) for Information Technology (IT) training. The insights he provided me mitigated much of the risk associated with my decision. In all, the instructors are just phenomenal and knowledgeable in their craft. Additionally, the GIT job placement team provided direction and assistance in seeking employment for students who had experience in other areas. I can honestly say it has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my life.

8/10/2017. My experience Global Information Technology was something I wouldn’t trade for the world. When I went there looking for A+ Training, I had been jobless for eight months. I was desperate to find something, anything that would change my life. Global Information Technology did just that. After completing the training program there, I actually was hired as a Help Desk Associate with the school. The Career Advisor here, as well as all of the staff, helped guide me into my future career.

I can’t stress how hopeless I was before I came here. No job, no hope, nothing. But even after one training class here and a bit of experience in the IT field, as well as assistance with our career advisor at Global IT, I am placed on full time assignment with benefits as a Help Desk Technician.

Global IT ensured that my future would be financially secure, and I’ll never forget the opportunities they provided.

Thank you for helping me in getting me into the IT world.

First of all I would like to start out by saying a big  thank you to Global Information Technology who not only provided me with my CompTIA A+ and Network+ training, however they helped me to get full time employment with benefits. The Director at Global Information Technology requested, I try and get some funding from Michigan Works in Dearborn, Michigan. I was absolutely excited to hear that they would pay for my training in full. Global Information Technology made every step of the way pleasant for me, with the ease of the registration process, to the training and job placement. I remember, once I had the approval they got me enrolled and set up with the best schedule for me. In just 8 weeks who knew my  career and life would be flipped and change for the better. They not only provide great training however, they provided the best resume workshop I have ever attended. Less than a week after, the work shop I found myself working in the IT field. 

Now, I am A+ certified and will be taking my Network+ in the next couple weeks. I am happy to tell you that I am currently working as an IT help desk technician and excited about my future as well as my new career.
