OFF OUR REGULAR PRICES IN EVERY DEPARTMENT! - John Murray's a people person. But to help people in business, he knew he needed more technical skills than his university degree provided. John comments, "I'm not one to sit in front of a computer for hours on end. It's a tool to be utilized. IT1 helped me make the most of my university degree by teaching me the skills to land a great job in information technology." "It was an intense nine months. But I had a really good time there. I met a lot of great folks, and keep in contact with many of them - students and staff. The team atmosphere at ITI was a very important part of the program. And the company I work for now is structured in teams, so the ITI environment is mirrored here on the job." John is using his Applied Information Technology education at ICG Communications, a telephone and data network services provider. His job? "I help others solve problems with information. I like working with the user community," John says. To join John and the thousands of ITI alumni who have launched great careers, call ITI today.
