SetFocus Meets Client Demands With A SharePoint Bootcamp
SetFocus Delivers The First SharePoint Training Experience In New Jersey
October 26, 2007 Parsippany, NJ – SetFocus, a Microsoft Gold
Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), announced the launch of a
SharePoint Bootcamp in late November for two weeks of intense SharePoint
training at their headquarters in Parsippany, NJ. This is the first training of
its kind in New Jersey.
The bootcamp is a two part series, each part consists of five 10-hour days, for
a total of 100 hours in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 Developer training.
The first week of the bootcamp concentrates on the fundamental building blocks
of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS) and the implementation of Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). The second week will focus on
implementing these newly developed skills into a project.
In anticipation of unparallel demand for professionals with strong SharePoint
skills, SetFocus is holding this course approximately two months before the
kick off of their Master’s ProgramSM SharePoint
track which will begin on Feb. 11, 2008. According to SimplyHire.com, demand
for SharePoint developers has increased 65% since May 2006 with average
salaries ranging from $90,000 - $110,000 in the New York Metro area.
“Microsoft SharePoint is one of the most sought after technologies for our
corporate partners as well as many other businesses in the country,” says
Jonathan Lefkowitz, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The demand for
professionals with these skills has created a great opportunity for .NET
developers to upgrade their skills and command top dollar pay. This is a great
example of the SetFocus business model. We have identified a significant
skills gap in SharePoint and have moved quickly to develop a curriculum track
to begin to produce SharePoint Developers to meet the current hiring demands of
our partners.”
