IT Training...There and Back, Again. A SAM's Tale

Dearest Lab Employees,

 

Please read the following e-mail very closely as it contains important information regarding the new training system adopted by OACL.

 

As many of you are aware, Spencer Bean is no longer with us as of today.  This has caused us to re-examine our relationship with IT Training.  Once again, IT Training will be teaching our training classes.  They have graciously agreed to teach many of the classes we already have scheduled (please thank the trainers profusely, as many of them were put on the spot for next week's classes).

 

Here is what this means for you:

 

1.  As of this morning, if you were scheduled for a training class in the future, you will automatically be scheduled for that class on IT's website, and your training class will take place at the same time, in the same place. (again, please thank the trainers for being so accommodating!)

 

2.  If you are not currently signed up for a training class, but would like to sign up, please wait until Monday's e-mail with further information.

 

3.  A few of the classes have been cancelled because there were only one or two people in them.  You will get a personal e-mail from me if your class has been cancelled.  Please pay very close attention to the class and date to avoid confusion.  The following classes will continue as scheduled:

 

Oct 18 Illustrator

Oct 19 InDesign

Oct 29 Photoshop Foundations Accelerated

Nov 12 OneNote

 

4.  If you started a training class with Spencer this week (Photoshop and Data Analysis) plan on finishing those next week with Spencer.  I will e-mail you this weekend if that changes.

 

If you have any questions, please e-mail me, call me, etc.  I will e-mail you more information about signing up for future training classes on Monday.  Have a great weekend!
