GRCC Computer Support Technician Job Training Class at Metro Health

Job Training’s Computer Support Technician class visited Metro Health on January 26th. The purpose of the visit was to tour the server room, understand more of the process that is involved in record keeping and ticket troubleshooting, and talk about the logical layout of the network within the hospital.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Students were able to use the Training Room at Metro for their site visit. The presentation also revolved around licensing procedures, thin client setups, asset management and Wiki documentation. Much of the question and answer time focused on how the network was set up for security purposes, both internally and externally, as well as how licensing is enforced when using thin clients vs. thick clients.

Special Thanks to Cora Beute and Metro Health for allowing our class to tour Metro.

February is American Heart Health Month

Posted on by

Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of women. More women die of cardiovascular disease and stroke than the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer and 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease, which if controlled could reduce their risk.

Friday, February 4 is National Wear Red Day. Started in 2004 to capture the energy, passion and intelligence of women to work collectively to wipe out heart disease.

The GRCC WE Team is encouraging GRCC employees — men and women — to wear red — (red dress, red sweater, red t-shirt, red lipstick, red socks, a red tie) — this Friday, February 4.  Starting tomorrow, the WE Team will share information about heart disease and how you can lower your risk.
