Computer Systems Institute
by Genevieve M. Blaber
Computers today are more than just point and click. That's why, when it comes to the Internet, private files, or the hardware itself, companies need to count on employees with the skills to keep everything up-to-date and running smoothly. In order to become one of these trusted and in-demand employees, it takes more than a passing familiarity with computer operating systems, it takes the right computer training and educational credentials -- whether you're looking to work exclusively in information technology (IT), or a profession that heavily relies upon it.
For eager job searchers in Illinois, Computer Systems Institute (CSI) is an answer to this digital dilemma. Formed in 1989, the technical school now boasts four campuses across the state (in Chicago, Gurnee, Lombard, and Skokie) and offers courses in business administration, health care, project management, and information technology.
Depending upon the program, students may earn a certificate, diploma, or degree in their area of study -- a valuable resume booster for such career fields as medical billing and coding, computer repair, or business administration, and one that's backed up by approval from educational organizations like the Illinois State Board of Education and the North Central Association. In addition to being accredited and/or licensed by both of these groups, Computer Systems Institute also boasts status as a Microsoft IT Academy.
Though the exact course offerings may differ from campus to campus, all students of Computer Systems Institute benefit from flexible class scheduling that respects their time constraints and responsibilities. In fact, not only does the Illinois technical school offer morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend classes, it also offers alternatives to traditional brick-and-mortar learning, including distance learning, on-demand classes, and live online services.
Knowing the importance that first-hand experience plays in training for a career, Computer Systems Institute also stresses hands-on learning through its classroom/labs, 26 of which are located at each of the technical school's locations, and instruction from working professionals in the field. Once you're done learning and earning your certificate/diploma/degree, you won't have to face the job market alone. Computer Systems Institute is dedicated to helping its graduates gain employment, hosting job fairs at least twice a year, running job search workshops, and constantly grooming its job network of 400 companies. Students of Computer Systems Institute even have access to exclusive job offerings which are posted on one of the school's site and can post their own resumes to the site with approval from the Career Services Department.
