Watermark Learning Announces IT Training Expansion to Phoenix, AZ - Twin Cities Tech Training Success Paves Way for New Facility in Phoenix
Watermark Learning today announced national expansion with the opening of its second training center at the Tech One facility in Phoenix, Arizona.
(PRWEB) August 9, 2004 -- http://www.WatermarkLearning.com - Watermark Learning, a
MN-based project management and requirements analysis training company, today
announced national expansion with the opening of its second training center at
the Tech One facility in Phoenix, Arizona.
The success of the Twin
Cities based instructor-led training facility and the increasing demand for live
training and mentoring in project management, business and software requirements
analysis, has spurred Watermark Learning in this expansion.
Stephen
Arnold, Business Analyst with a large Phoenix-based financial institution, used
to travel to the Twin Cities regularly to take courses with Watermark Learning.
He says, “Watermark Learning knows what they’re doing when it comes to
professional skills development. Their instructors come from the business world
and are 100% in touch with the realities of how the principles they teach are
actually put to use.” Stephen Arnold is one of many Phoenix based business
analysts, project managers and systems analysis professionals that can now
attend Watermark Learning’s skill development courses in
Phoenix.
"Phoenix is now the 5th largest city in the country, and we
believe that it is a location that will experience significant business and IT
growth in the very near future," said Richard Larson, Watermark Learning
Principal. "The competitive climate is favorable for us, and we have several
Twin Cities-based retail, manufacturing and financial clients with Phoenix
branches in need of project management and requirements analysis training."
According to recently released federal statistics reported by the
Phoenix Business Journal, "Between June 2003 and June 2004, the Phoenix/Mesa
metropolitan area netted 41,200 jobs. That's second best in the country behind
only the Washington D.C./Northern Virginia market…according to the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics." The same report stated that "Phoenix's year-over-year job
gains outpaced rival Las Vegas (which added 38,800 jobs) and other markets that
showed improvements such as St. Louis (32,400), New York (31,800) and Atlanta
(27,100 jobs added)."
Watermark Learning's new Phoenix based training
facility, co-located with consulting firm Tech One, will offer a variety of
project management and requirements analysis based courses developed
specifically for project managers, business analysts, and software
developers.
