Are You Undecided About Your Course or Career Path
3 September, 2008
If you would like to experience different fields and work environments before deciding on the job you want or career path to follow, Hands On Computer Training International (HOCTI) can help you.
The college offers specialist IT and business career development programs with an internship component and a strong employer network.
There are 20 business and computer training courses available from Year 11 through to mature-age students. They are very customer focused and the modules are flexible with a duration ranging from six to 18 months.
Through the strong internship program, different employers have the opportunity to get to know students and their particular skills. They, in turn, provide an insight into other workplace aspects, such as customer management skills, time management, occupational health and safety and their own workplace culture.
“This relationship often leads to job offers and a career path,” says Managing Director Hong Fu. Mr Fu started HOCTI 21 years ago after graduating with a BA in Information Technology and extensive experience with computers that led him to train many thousands of people in the corporate sector.
“I could see that with the right philosophy, trained staff and connection to the business world I could transform people’s lives. That is my goal.” Mr Fu said.
HOCTI is a Microsoft authorised education centre and accredited by the Australian Government. It is a partner with Murdoch, Curtin, ECU and Griffith universities.
Based in cosmopolitan Subiaco with easy access to train and bus, Hands On Computer Training International is in a modern, spacious building with classrooms that have the latest equipment and technology for IT job training.
The Perth IT training company’s unique approach allows staff to focus on specific performance goals and access precisely the learning needed for maximum productivity. It takes into account existing knowledge and skill levels.
“We do everything to ensure the best outcomes for our students – from the way we enrol them to the module selection, the internship program, and our strong corporate network and reputation for highly trained and well prepared prospective employees.”
The business and IT training college also offers training programs to international students and customised programs to corporate clients.
After its many years of experience and success, Hands On Computer Training International confidently offers a guarantee of employment within 60 days of completing the course, or it will pay up to $5,000 while continuing to find employment.
“There is no secret to this success,” Mr Fu said. “It is about putting the right ingredients together and being selective in how we enrol our students for the best outcomes. This means looking at their abilities and interests and developing a program to suit them.
“Also, only 17 per cent of jobs are advertised; most are found by word-of-mouth and personal recommendation. We hear about employment opportunities all the time because we have extensive contatcs with industry and are constantly in touch with business executives and recruitment consultants.”
Hands On Computer Training International is an Australian-owned company providing IT courses for local students.
