SetFocus Breaks Graduate Placement Record
SetFocus Places All Eligible Graduates In .NET Class In Nine Weeks
NEW JERSEY September 14, 2007 – In a classroom, 12 people were
looking to change their lives. Among them, a Princeton graduate, an ex-marine, a
stay at home mom trying to rejoin the workforce and a handful of others had one
common goal, to obtain a position as a .NET developer. Today, SetFocus announced
that all eligible graduates of its most recent .NET Master’s Program have attained
jobs within 9 weeks following graduation, breaking the traditional benchmark of
13 weeks.
SetFocus offers an extensive career development resource for all students as part
of The Master’s Program. In addition to intense technical training, all graduates
have access to career services for their employment lifetime. Theresa Billy, Director
of Corporate relations believes career development is an essential part to The Master’s
Program. “Our goal is to strengthen the placement process even more, to streamline
it for our developers and partners to create a direct pipeline from one to the other,”
said Billy.
Billy describes the benefits of excellent training with career development services
for students as well as hiring companies. “We strive to provide our developers the
best training and then the right opportunities to deploy it. Opportunities with
companies where they have the ability to continue to develop and enhance their Microsoft
skill and gain exposure to best practices. This allows them career growth and provides
our strategic partners the ability to rely on us to support them and their projects
with the best talent. We will continue to work diligently with our partners to do
this,” Billy said.
Aside from the .NET track, SetFocus offers other tracks in SQL Server 2005, MS Business
Intelligence tools and SharePoint 2007, which will be kicking off in early 2008.
Currently, SetFocus has 100 percent job placement for all of these graduates. For
