ImageRotarian of the Year Mohan Viddam has provided us on an update on his company's Veterans training program:

      "We are glad to announce that our next class for military Veterans in IT (SQA; Software Testing) is scheduled to start on Mon, September 23, 2013. Please refer Veterans to contact Alan Day (aday@halcyonit.com ; 614-322-3951), if they are interested in attending this free 5 week course at our Dublin office. A few Employers in Northern Ohio and one in Pittsburgh, PA, are also interested in partnering with Halcyon by giving jobs to our trained Veterans. Accordingly, we are hoping that some of the Veterans in our next class would be willing to relocate to Northern Ohio or Pittsburgh. We are also open to Veterans, currently residing in Northern Ohio and Pittsburgh, to come to Columbus and attend the course. Classes are held from 6PM-8PM every week-day.

       We hope that Employers in Central and Northern Ohio will continue to partner with Halcyon, by offering jobs in SQA to our trained Veterans. Click here to know more about our “Halcyon’s Veteran’s Workforce Development Program.” Halcyon started this program at the end of 2011, and is having 70% success rate in places vets with jobs. We have started interviewing Veterans to be considered for our next class. Thanks!"

This program gives valuable IT skills that make our vets competitive in the job market. Thanks, Mohan, for what you do for our vets and our community!
