Short Bio

Richard had been working long hours at a dead-end, seasonal warehouse job when finally, he’d had enough. He begged his boss not to cut his hours when business slowed down again, realizing job security and work-life balance mattered most to him and his family. 

His father suggested going back to school for IT, enrolling at MyComputerCareer to launch his career forward quickly. He agreed, and the move paid off. 

Richard now works as a Field Technician at a Network Operations Center. He landed the job while still enrolled at MyComputerCareer. 

Richard now has more time to spend with his young son and family, and sleeps better at night knowing he won’t have to wake up physically strained from the hard manual labor of working in a warehouse. His long-term goal is to gain more experience in IT and move up the ladder into Cybersecurity, working alongside his uncle.

William Helm

Short Bio

As a disabled Navy veteran who bounced in and out of jobs for years, William often felt discouraged. Most civilian roles disappointed him. They either didn’t meet his needs or expectations, or offered little in terms of work satisfaction and job fulfillment. William knew he had a knack for computers having worked on communication and RADAR equipment in the Navy. He wasn’t expert-level by any means, but with the support and training of MyComputerCareer, William became a pro earning NINE CERTIFICATIONS IN SEVEN MONTHS! William now works as a Foreign Service Security Technical Specialist for the federal government. He credits Career Services for giving him the confidence to succeed and the opportunity to showcase his growth.

James worked in retail for years with little pay, hardly any raises and almost no growth opportunity. He finally reached his ‘breaking point’ when, during the uncertainty of COVID, his company offered a 50-cent raise as an incentive for employees to stay.

James decided 50 cents wasn’t good enough to keep him happy. He enrolled at MyComputerCareer to start a new career with better hours, better pay and an overall better life. 

James now works as a Service Desk Technician making almost twice as much as he did before with weekends off too! In 10 years, he hopes to become a Systems Administrator for a banking or health care institution.
