SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- SkillBuilders, Inc. (
http://www.SkillBuilders.com) announced a Displaced Workers Program, offering tuition-relief to individuals who have lost their jobs during the current crisis. Effective immediately, students who have lost their jobs in the past six months, and are currently unemployed, can qualify for a 50% tuition reduction on most online, instructor-led Oracle classes.
Dave Anderson, SkillBuilders' president and founder, said "information technology professionals who are out of work usually need to retool to be competitive, but at the same time they might not be able to afford training.
"Our program doubles the amount of quality training students can afford, with zero sacrifice in quality."
Displaced students will attend regularly-scheduled SkillBuilders classes and have complete access to all scripts and workshops, as well as to the instructor. SkillBuilders online classes are led by an experienced instructor and are fully interactive. Students gain valuable skills and hands-on experience, learn what they need to pass certifications and receive a Certificate of Training upon completion of each class.
Online classes also eliminate travel time, expense and hassle by bringing the classroom right to a student's own computer.
Upcoming classes include:
- Introduction to Oracle10g and SQL
- Oracle 10g SQL Tuning for Developers and DBAs
- Advanced SQL Queries for Oracle 10g
- Oracle Application Express (ApEx) Workshop
- Introduction to XML
"[SkillBuilders' Displaced Worker Program] is a way to give back, and invest in the future at the same time," Dave Anderson said. "We're confident that students will love our training and continue to come back to us long after they've found a new job."
