Career Development & Technology Training

What's New: Our Career Development Center

Why Chose Career Development?

Whether you want to train for a new career, advance within your current company, or simply learn new skills to stay competitive in today's job market, Millbrook Office Support and Training Center's hands on instructor led classes can help.

The technology industry has developed a diverse range of careers, including everything from tech support specialists to database administrators to specialized project managers, to office specialist. These are the go to people in your office.

"Web developers, for example, are responsible for the behind-the-scenes code and programming of Web sites and Web-based services. While the edges are often blurred in Web positions, Web developers typically have a more technical orientation than Web designers, who focus on a site's look and feel, and information architects, who focus on sites' organization. Web developers' projects vary widely, ranging from bare-bones active Web pages to complex, multilayered Web applications that might power an ecommerce site." This paragraph I thought really summed up IT diversity. It came from http://www.insidetech.com/.

All of these skills can be picked up through career development programs at local centers like ourselves.

We offer two forms of career development:

Specialized courses:

• All of our courses are taught by certified experts, without exception

• They are intensive and condensed - ranging from 16 to 40 hours per course

• Courses are taught by industry experts who offer valuable insight into industry trends and best practice

Certification tracts:

We offer training tracts to help you prepare for your desired certification exam.

Upon completion of your certification coursework and successful exam completion you will both CEU's and college credit in some programs.

Certification Programs

Earning a certification in an area of study can be extremely important to your career development plan. Whether you want to train for a new career, advance within your current company, or simply learn new skills to stay competitive in today's job market, Millbrook Office Support and Training Center's hands on instructor led classes can help.

Look for this area to continue to grow!

Adobe CS4 training opens with a bang

We would like to thank Stacy Cates for a great opening class. Today was our first Adobe CS4 class and we started it in true fashion with Adobe Photoshop. It wasn't the largest class we have had since opening last year but everything went off incredibly. The students are already buzzing about the intermediate class in May and asking when would we be offerring an advanced Photoshop class.

It looks like we will be adding an Advanced Photoshop class to the June schedule. The CS4 package is definitely living up to its hype.

Enough about the Photoshop class. It is not too late yet but it is getting close too being too late to signup for the Iluustrator CS4 class on April 27th with Adobe ACE Bill Carberry. To signup visit our site at: http://millbrooktrainingcenter.com/schedule/index.php

Bill is an incredible instructor with 20 years of practical "real world" expereince he able to bring into the classroom. His background in print and typography allows him to help each student overcome issues they are having in their own professions.

So don't miss another great Adobe class at Millbrook Office Support and Training Center, Alabama's only Adobe Authorized training center.
