Breaking the Code: A practical workshop that removes all mystery from technology

Are you a:

• Technical recruiter?
• Technical account manager?
• Hiring specialist?
• Employment counselor?
• Human Resources professional?

Do you work with:

• Software developers or engineers
• Technical hiring managers
• Project managers

We all have to interact with technology - but for some of us our jobs depend on it. If your job involves finding technical professionals, assessing technical job skills, matching candidates to job requirements, etc., this workshop is for you!

The Tech Academy offers a targeted professional workshop, created with your needs in mind. Here you will learn from technology industry experts:

• Fundamentals of how computers and programming work
• The types of tools that all developers need to know, and how to map a candidate’s skill set to those tools
• How software is actually made in a modern software development shop, and how to really understand what technical hiring managers are asking for
• What all of those confusing acronyms and terms really mean

The technology industry changes fast. If you don’t have a solid foundation, and a genuine understanding of the tools that are in demand today, you can be left behind.

Attend our practical, one day workshop. This interactive, comprehensive class covers all of the data above, and has extensive Q&A time as well. You will have an opportunity to get all of your questions answered.

This workshop is open only to employment and sales professionals who work in the technology field, so you will be surrounded by your peers.

FREE GIFT: All attendees will receive their own personal copy of The Technology Basics Dictionary: Computers and Technology Simplified. This comprehensive technology dictionary provides simple, clear definitions for all the technical terms you encounter at work and at home. A $20 value, this dictionary is your gift simply for attending.
