I worked 17 yrs in manufacturing as a Hilo driver, a material processor and 9 yrs as a Quality assurance technician and was let go due to the economy in February 2007. During that time I’d always had a passion for the computing arena so after weighing my options and overcoming the fear that can grip you during a jobless period I began searching for an educational opportunity in the computing arena.
May 2007 Enter Global Information Technology (GIT): with an abundance of training opportunities, fully qualified and certified instructors, and a price that gave the most bang for the buck. I enrolled in the Network Engineering professional Courses and was blown away by the depth of knowledge and information, hands on training and can do attitude that they imparted to me.
Today I am a systems Administrator installing configuring and managing: server systems, SAN/NAS, Web servers, web applications, High order encryption devices, Database servers, switches routers and firewall IDS/IPS devices. I work with engineers and technicians who have been in the industry for years and they were so impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge that I possess that they gave me a promotion and a raise after only six months of employment thanks to my training at GIT. It’s a big job but Global Itech has prepared me for a bright future in IT. If you put 100% effort into your training you will be rewarded.
Thanks GIT for everything. I’m sure I’ll be back when it’s time for the upgrades.
