IT in the D

A blast of an episode as we were joined by the author of "To Be a King", a fictional look at the world of the Detroit Mafia, as well as our friends from Youmacon... His book is at: https://www.amazon.com/BE-KING-Gunner-Lindbloom/dp/1520399944/ and https://www.amazon.com/BE-KING-Gunner-Lindbloom/dp/1521254079/ Youmacon is at: http://www.youmacon.com/ IT in the D On the web: http://www.ITinTheD.com On Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/ITintheD/ On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/IT-in-D-91763 On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ITintheD On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ITintheD Podcast Detroit is at: On the web: http://www.podcastdetroit.com/ On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastDetroit On Twitter: https://twitter.com/PodcastDetroit On Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/podcastdetroit  

IT in the D was founded upon the principle of making things suck less for the Metro Detroit IT industry. Whether it be meetups, recruiting, job seeking, job fairs, podcasts, we have always strived to change the way things were being done. Roughly four years ago, we heard complaints about the training industry being broken. While people wanted to increase their skill set, they couldn’t spend 8 weeks from 9AM-5PM in a bootcamp while spending as much as a small car. With a few phone calls, a few meetings, and some beta users, the IT in the D Career Academy was born... IMPORTANT NOTE: We are currently full and have a wait list in place.  Any registrations at this point will be placed onto our wait list, and will be notified as slots become available. We have now partnered with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), Detroit School for Digital Technology (DSDT), and our numerous contacts in the job placement field to offer self-study training, free certification testing, and job placement for people interesting in getting started in a career in Information Technology. This program is built on The Path whereas this is your first step in your career, where you take it is up to you, but this is merely the beginning. Who is eligible? We are basing this on a first come, first serve basis. This program is for those new to the industry, not to re-new expiring certifications. What certifications are you offering? We are suggesting that two CompTIA Certifications are obtained, A+ and Net+. Security+ is an option if you would like to pursue a career in Cyber Security. How long will this take? Again, this based on your schedule. There is no time frame to complete these certifications, however you must communicate with IT in the D every two-weeks on your progress or your seat will be given to someone else. What happens when I complete the certifications? You will work with the MEDC, MichWorks, and IT in the D recruiters to be places in a level one help desk position with a company in Southeast Michigan. If you are interested and are 100% committed, fill out the form below and we will be in touch. IMPORTANT NOTE: We are currently full and have a wait list in place.  Any registrations at this point will be placed onto our wait list, and will be notified as slots become available.

For episode 210, we were joined by Jim from the RMC Agency to talk about the state of the IT industry and what they're seeing employers look for, as well as the crew from Detroit Cast that came in to wreak havoc, get completely lost during the geek discussion, and drink all of our beer.  You know, basically exactly what we expect them to do whenever we invite them around, as we discuss the upcoming Podcast Awards, their show, favorite guests, and more...

The opening segment has some strong language.  Most of it has been R2D2 whistled out...but there was a bit of ranting to be done to open things off.  The rest of the show is business as usual, with some great content from Caston talking about a one stop shop for help if you get hit by ransomware, Brian from MEDC discussing our Career Academy program expanding to downtown Detroit and more, as well as Jeremiah from Daily Detroit about all things in and around the city and what's coming up...
