In mid-2012, I was at a cross-road in my life after being informed that the position I held for over 11 years was being eliminated. I realized then that my skills needed to be updated to take me into a new line of work. That’s when I met one of your career advisors at Detroit career fairs. After talking with her for a few minutes, she understood completely the new path I wanted to undertake and as follow-up, invited me to the Global Information Technology (GIT) office in Southfield for an interview. She also introduced me to the appropriate people at the Michigan Works! Office who could arrange state funding for the Business Analysis and pre-requisite Microsoft Office 2010 courses I wished to take. After learning that I qualified for the funding, I began my journey with Global Information Technology in the fall of 2012.
Let me say that it was a pleasure working with your instructors for the MS Office 2010 and the Business Analysis courses, as well as the entire staff at GIT. Both my instructors really cared about the people in their classes and were always available to help with questions, before and after the courses ended. As a bonus, I’m honored to have been part of the first Business Analysis course offered by GIT! I have now completed my training, already have 3 Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certifications under my belt, and have plans to complete 2 more within short order.
Also, I am very pleased to announce that I am starting a new career as a direct hire with a major automotive company with great pay! My past experiences, along with my newfound skills, have given me new confidence, all of which will be beneficial as I start my new job.
Some words of advice for those still unemployed: Never give up on your search for your dream job, get the training you need, NETWORK, and volunteer!! I did all of the above. The simple act of helping out once or twice a week at Love INC of North Oakland County while still looking for full-time work and completing coursework at GIT had a positive effect on my life. Talking with people in dire need will increase your awareness of those around you and really make you appreciate all the gifts and talents that you do have to offer on both a personal and professional level.

Having stagnated as an IT professional, as well as finding the demands in the market are for later technologies, it became evident that I had to re-tool to remain, indeed become, marketable. I needed a training venue that offered a breadth of curriculums, that was affordable, that was convenient and that was geared to the [...] Read more
