Fathers Making Changes

“It was the day I graduated from PC ProSchools and unfortunately my children were not able to attend the ceremony,” shares Jim Schmidt, Customer Support Technician at AT&T, PC ProSchools graduate and proud father. “I was on my way home and I thought I needed to see the kids so I called them over. Immediately they thought there was some kind of trouble. I came in wearing my suit, sat them down and said ‘A year ago today your mom and I split up and I moved out. Look what you can accomplish if you try. We have a new home. I have a new career, an awesome career. All it takes is effort.’ I know that message will stick with me and I’m sure it will stick with them forever. We toasted our new family and I have the confidence now that I can support this family. It was a great, great moment.” Hundreds of fathers like Jim have made the decision to better themselves and their families through the quick 6 month Help Desk/MCSA program at PC ProSchools, a Microsoft IT Training Academy. Because PC ProSchools understands the demands on working adults and offers a proven, unique and effective alternative to the traditional 2 or 4 year programs so many individuals can afford to make needed changes. Our graduates range from the construction worker whose body is failing him to manufacturer who is tired of the monotony, from the retail worker to the laborer and everything in between. These are fathers that need to change their current situation; whether they need to make more money, have more time to spend with their families or want a career they enjoy rather than a job. And they are doing just that as Network Administrators and Help Desk Analysts. But what makes IT so much better? According to US Bureau of Labor Statistics IT is one of the fastest growing fields of employment, accounting for 8 of the top 10 fastest growing occupations in the United States. And a recent survey from ITAA stated that almost half of all new jobs created in Information Technology go unfilled due to a lack of qualified candidates. According to Terry Loose, Director of Career Services for PC ProSchools, employers can hardly wait to hire PC ProSchools grads. “We’ve already 100% student placement in our of our tracks this year and many of the others are on par to do the same. Employers are hiring our students before they are even officially done with school. It’s been awesome.” Kevin Griffin, another successful PC ProSchools grad explained, “When family events came up, I wasn’t around(because of his previous job). Now I have the weekends off and feel appreciated. PC ProSchools gave me a future that I am now living.”nFind out if PC ProSchools can help you make the changes in your life you need by calling 888-256-4521 or visit www.pcproschools.edu.
