Online learning with ProTrain is not about exposing yourself to new information simply for the sake of doing so. We don’t encourage earning certificates just to have something to display on your wall. Rather, ProTrain believes profoundly in the ‘education to employment’ principle.
What is education to employment? To some organizations, it is just a marketing ideal. But to us, it is a means of helping prepare people to direct their own career paths. To us, education to employment is a streamlined strategy to help people pursue their career goals in the real world.
Education to employment in a real-world setting can look remarkably different compared to the classroom. What we learn in a classroom is still valuable to some degree, but the classroom is not the real world.
Targeted Skill Development
Online learning is what we are all about. We offer students a variety of courses and learning models designed around the education to employment concept. It all starts with targeted skilled development. For the purposes of illustration, consider our AWS training.
Also known as Amazon Web Services, AWS is one of the leading cloud platforms in the world. But it is more than just a cloud. It’s also a whole host of services and applications made available through the cloud. We offer AWS training to give both new and experienced IT professionals the targeted skills they need to advance in AWS environments.
Our AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate course is a good starting point for new IT workers just getting their feet wet. No prior training or experience is necessary to sit for the certification exam. Likewise, experienced IT workers determined to get on an AWS career path can benefit from this course. It focuses on targeted skills, including:
- Provisioning AWS storage.
- Deploying Amazon database services.
- Implementing virtual networks.
- AWS resource management.
- AWS security enforcement.
These are all real-world skills utilized on the job every day. They are not just theories in a textbook. The education-to-employment concept is about equipping IT workers with these types of skills so that they can move their careers forward.
Fast and Flexible
Online learning is ideal for education to employment because it is both fast and flexible. IT professionals do not need to put another 2-3 years into formal college training to be certified as AWS Certified SysOps Administrator. Between online training and a certification exam, they can be ready to go in a fraction of the time.
Flexibility is key because it allows students to learn when they have the time to spend on education. The previously mentioned AWS training course is a self-paced course that students complete on their own schedules. If you were to sign up for the course, you would have a full 12 months to complete the equivalent of 40 hours of coursework.
Direct Connections to Employers
Although we cannot guarantee employment with any particular employer, online learning organizations like ProTrain often have direct connections to employers seeking specific skills. Learning organizations know what employers want and need. Likewise, those employers understand the value of education to employment training programs.
Our AWS training is just one example of how we implement the education to employment concept. We don’t stop there. We have courses in AutoCAD fundamentals, medical billing and coding, business finance, digital marketing, and so much more.
