Modesto’s Komalam Mckenzie has achieved the prestigious status of Master Instructor for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) program.  Komalam earned this coveted distinction by first passing the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams and by meeting the rigorous requirements for becoming an MOS Master Instructor.  Microsoft Office Specialist is designed to prove computer skills and desktop productivity in programs that have become the standard for businesses around the world. 

The MOS Master Instructor credential will enable Komalam to better instruct students on these essential computer programs.  We thank and congratulate Komalam for her work in bettering herself and her students through becoming a Master Instructor.  Komalam we are lucky to have you!

Congratulations to Richard Melella!

Richard Melella has worn many different hats through his many years of service with IOT.  The one he has worn most recently has been the most important one that I can remember.  He has been directly overseeing the Career Services department at our Clovis campus (to help add stability and guidance) as well as giving guidance to our other campus Career Services departments.Richard was dispatched to give all of his attention to our placement outcomes for the campuses, especially the Clovis campus.  Our placement numbers were not in compliance with the state or our accreditation body; in fact, we had 2 programs out of 14 that were in compliance with the state.  Through his direction and the hard work of the individual career service department employees that number has climbed to 9 with just a few job/verifications/waivers to get to put us over the top for the state.

As for our national accreditation body, we have never been in position to report that all programs are in compliance, until now.  Richard is projecting that all programs will be in compliance for our national accreditation body by the end of the year.

A big thank you goes to Richard, but a bigger thank you goes to all of our Career Service Representatives for recapturing the vision for our students.  Richard, we appreciate your leadership!
