What is the
practical purpose of getting an education? To get hired.
The more education one has, the better the job potential, or so we hope. Because of the challenging economic
times and the specialized training needed for many of the best jobs, education
has had to adjust. Because of the
advancement of technology and its application in almost any industry, graduates
of today need skills we hadn’t even heard of a decade ago. More high school graduates attend
college than in the past. More
then go on to additional education.
Prior to
the industrial revolution workers were trained by working along side someone in
their field. A cobbler would train
a young boy how to fix shoes so then he could become a cobbler. Fathers often trained sons. Now education has progressed to
offering an abundance of learning venues.
I believe
the best approach to education is a little of the old and a little of the
new. We teach freight broker
wannabes the technology that help them find loads, find trucks and find
potential customers. We also give
hands on training (like an apprenticeship). Then on Friday of our week of intense learning Freight
Brokerage come in, meet our students and offer job opportunities to work as
agents in their companies.
One of our
former instructors, Drake Silver, now works in an incredible Brokerage and
comes to our school on Friday to offer graduates positions at his firm. He knows that someone trained at Brooke
will be ready to perform well from day 1.
Positions offered our graduates come in a variety of “sizes”. Some of the positions offered have
great benefits attached, some are all commission, some hourly, some a
combination of the commission and salary.
Education
is never wasted. It can help you
succeed in your current career, teach you a new career and inspire you to dream
big. Join us for training or give
me a call anytime to discuss your dreams for a brighter tomorrow.
Moving
forward,
