This month we’re focusing on Mikeshia Manning, a bright young lady who had everything going for her until her company closed their doors and laid her off a couple years ago.

In July 2012, Mikeshia came to MicroTrain to get her PMP certification. With 10 years of experience in the banking industry, a degree in Business Administration and Management, and plenty of Project Management experience, Mikeshia had already laid the foundation for her success. 

After applying herself diligently and completing PMP, Business Analysis and Six Sigma courses at MicroTrain, Mikeshia earned her certifications. But she knew certifications alone wouldn't be enough to get her dream job. So, Mikeshia worked closely with her Career Services Manager, Elliott Esparza, to craft a winning resume, prepare for interviews and get her foot in the door with employers.

"After completing courses at Microtrain and achieving my PMP certification, Elliott assisted with my career search from beginning to end, helping me land a job at the Illinois Department of Housing as a Program Lead," Mikeshia said recently. "With his assistance, I was able to land a great opportunity. Thank you for everything."

Esparza, Mikeshia’s Career Services Manager, said her persistence, organization and ambition are the main sources of Mikeshia’s amazing success.

Congratulations to Mikeshia and to the Illinois Department of Housing for knowing a good thing when they see it!

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.

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.

The instructor [Al Khalfan] was very knowledgeable in the field. He presented the materials and concepts with a professional touch. He also frequently adds humor to his teachings, which made it easier for me to understand. The support staff was all nice, gentle, caring, and very helpful. The materials, rooms and amenities were excellent and exceeded expected standards.

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.
