Happy Father's Day to Everyone!

Sometimes I forget that your only as successful as the other people that help you get there especially my DAD. So I might not write the most inspiring blog out there to honor you but I just wanted to give you thanks for all the sacrifices you have given me so that I can have the opportunity to become the best person I can possibly be. Here at Microtrain I want to honor all the DADs Stan, Dennis, Jim and all the others be in sales, support all my students who have Dads or are Dads themselves and sacrificing in their pursuit to reach their goals and sacrifice for their children.

Happy Father's Day to everyone!

Why Blockbuster Is Dead :(

by Jo Escotal on June 2nd, 2010

I remember as a kid when Blockbuster came into business and crushed the ma and pa shops of renting videos well what comes around goes around because of its monolithic culture and the inability to change Netflix has finally destroyed Blockbuster. I see the end coming for once a great business. Customers are leaving in droves and has made a decision to watch movies online more frequently. Furthermore Blockbuster has alienated customers with their exoberant late fees and their inability to promote affordability I mean Red Box are renting movies for a dollar. I am so amaze that the management that are running Blockbuster has made such a blunder and in the next couple of years I see them becoming extinct like the great dinosaurs that once roam this Earth.

Raves & Praise

Jennie

Student Employment Success - Project/Process Manager

My Career Services Manager was very friendly and helpful and had excellent follow-up. She seemed to really care how things were going and kept me moving in the right direction. The resources available in job search were great and the visibility that there were jobs out there looking for my skillset was promising. Additionally, the training, as well as having an updated resume stating the Microtrain course work I had taken made me feel more confident and marketable as I looked for employment. It showed that I was dedicated and took project management and process management seriously.

Employer Partner Feedback

Dawn has been a pleasure to work with. She is diligent in her efforts to give MicroTrain’s students the best opportunities to connect and network with various companies and players in the job market. The curriculums and certification programs are in line with today’s current IT needs. It’s good to see that they evolve with what employers are most seeking out there. I would recommend to any employer that hires skilled IT workers that they look into MicroTrain’s career services department as a potential source of candidates. The business of hiring can be quite costly, and Dawn and her staff provide a free service to outside companies. This value-add for MicroTrain’s students aligns with their mission in both training and job assistance to set up a win/win scenario for all involved.

Project Management

Great class, loved the interaction and team-building exercises. Plenty of materials and learning tools supplied. Although it was a full week's class, never boring. Donna [Russell] was awesome and gave many supporting examples for better understanding.

MCSA

Microtrain presents the course material in an interesting and concise manner. Microtrain gives the student all the resources necessary to pass the certification exams. Both the Chicago and Lombard facilities were excellent, and the staff goes to any length to accommodate any student changes.
