New Horizons and My Success
“I was laid‐off from my job as a medical equipment installer. Since I had no IT Certifications, I researched and found New Horizons Sacramento. With the help of the career guidance counselor and staff, we created an IT Certification program. In January of 2011 I had successfully completed over seven Certifications and was awarded an internship at New Horizons. Today, I am employed as a Field Engineer for a global Healthcare company. I would like to thank everyone at New Horizons Sacramento for helping and believing in me.”
Warren Judson ‐A+, Network+, Security+, MCDST: Windows XP, MCTIP: Enterprise Desktop Support Technician 7, VMware.
__________________________________________________ “I was finding it difficult to find a job and knew I needed to make a career change. In Sacramento I found that IT was one of the growing fields. The career advisor and staff at New Horizons understood my requirements and found the best training program that would suit me. I chose New Horizons to provide the training I needed to begin a career in IT. After my training I was offered an internship and later a permanent position at New Horizons Sacramento.
