Interactive Intelligence is a software company that provides unified business communications solutions for call centers, enterprise IP telephony, and business process automation. The company has been around for over 20 years and has been repeatedly recognized for revolutionizing unified communication solutions in Indianapolis, Indiana – and now globally.
Since its inception, the company has maintained a mission to offer equal amounts of technology and training. Today, Interactive Intelligence announced that it has opened a brand new technology training center in West Lafayette to help train Purdue University students to be better prepared for IT careers after college.
“We opened this training center to complement Purdue’s excellent instruction in networking by giving students supervised, real-world experience working with our senior best engineers on actual company projects,” said Jim Ostrognai, Interactive Intelligence’s senior director of Testing.
The new center will help provide real-time, hands-on experience and training for interns enrolled at Purdue University’s Department of Computer Science and Department of Computer and Information Technology. A lot of times at the intern level, students can feel misused and aren’t often given a chance to really work in the field – interning has slowly become more of an observation type of learning. However, with this new program – students are walking away with working with some of the best in the IT field who will enable them and train them with one goal in mind: preparedness for after school.
The training center is opened to not only interns, but to all students at the university who show interested in learning about the IT field, are majoring in an IT-related subject, or who have flexibility in their schedules to be around throughout the summer or during the regular school year.
Interactive Intelligence has made a valiant effort to make sure not only students, but employees, CEO’s, presidents, and vice presidents of companies are up to date on the latest unified communications solutions and know how to implement them successfully in their company.
