After serving as an Operation Manager for a medical technology company, they sold our division and eliminated my role. It was tough. I had never been without a job and saw myself going through unchartered territory. When I was looking for employment, I didn’t really deal with the networking side of the house, which many employers wanted, so I found myself at a disadvantage. I knew I needed advanced computer networking training to make me more marketable. After doing my research, I found New Horizons was very military-friendly. I was able to cover my tuition through the GI Bill and started the program in November 2018. They gave me a skill set that allowed me to speak the IT language. Also, they gave me the concepts of networking, which were critical to employers. In just four months, I was able to knock out the program and gain the knowledge I needed to get to where I am now. I have completed my Green Belt Six Sigma Certification, Project Management Professional Certification, and am 70% done with my Black Belt Six Sigma. Today, I serve as an Operations Project Manager at Rauland-Borg, a division of Ametek, using Six Sigma methodologies and Lean Initiatives to boost performance. I am very grateful to New Horizons! They opened doors to opportunities I would not have had if not for this program
