This one is for those of you on an airplane, working in Excel on a laptop! You all know that you can use your arrow keys to move around the cells of a worksheet. Hold down Shift and while holding it, use the arrow keys and instead of navigating, it will select cells. Its a bit slow, but very precise.
MicroTrain is pleased to announce that Kassandra McGhee has been promoted to the position of Director of Career Services. In this new role, Kassandra will lead and manage the Career Services team, while promoting the department to students, case managers, and the corporate community.
Kassandra was promoted from the position of Director of Workforce Development, which she held since July, 2009. In that role Kassandra developed and led career workshops, worked with area companies to utilize corporate placement services, and provided vocational, educational, and job search counseling and services for clients. Prior to joining MicroTrain, Kassandra worked as a Student Services/Placement Coordinator for New Horizons Computer Training Centers where she coordinated all student enrollment, retention and placement services. Before that she was a Program Coordinator and UAW-Ford/Bright Horizons, and a Program Coordinator at Rock Valley College.
Kassandra attained her Master's of Science degree in Sociology from Iowa State University, along with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, also from Iowa State. In addition, Kassandra is a Certified Career Specialist, which she obtained from the University of Illinois at Springfield, as well as a Certified Workforce Development Professional, obtained from the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals.
"We are very excited about what Kassandra has accomplished over the past 8 months, and happy to be able to promote her to this important position," said Stan Van Nice, MicroTrain CEO and co-founder. "MicroTrain's mission is to help people get back to work, and the Director of Career Services is an essential part of this process, and I think Kassandra is perfectly suited to lead this effort in the future."
Thanks Microtrain for conducting a great PMP course that set me on a successful path to obtain my PMP certification. I have passed the test!
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.
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.
Very thorough, good mix of lecture and lab work. Al is great! Keeps classes interesting and supplements required test material with need-to-know items from real world experience.
Great training facility. Great instructors. Great experience.
Begin building a successful long-term career pathway.
