Differentiate Your Business With Cutting-Edge Training At Grand Circus

DETROIT (WWJ) -- Grand Circus has scheduled its fall tech training classes for October.

Grand Circus offers practical education in technology, business, and design. Join a Grand Circus class and learn by doing with help from real developers, entrepreneurs, and designers.

With flexible schedules and affordable prices, Grand Circus classes can help take a business to the next level. Sign up for one of its three featured classes:

* Create and Promote Your Brand: Tuesday, Oct. 1 and Thursday, Oct. 3, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., $70. No matter the size or type of organization, owning your brand and knowing how to promote it are critical to success. This means taking an in-depth look at the soul of your business and illustrating the core of who you are across brand and promotional elements. Taking the time and effort to lay this foundation ensures that you will own your brand, rather than be defined by the public - or worse, remain unknown. If you're ready to have a brand that resonates with your customers and ready to speak authentically and consistently across traditional media, blogs, and social media -- then you're ready for this seminar.

* Build A Website With WordPress: Saturday, Oct. 12, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., $230. Every business needs an online presence. However, traditional websites can become costly and difficult to maintain. WordPress bridges the gap for people who need a high-quality, search engine optimized website but are not ready to invest in a full-time web developer. WordPress is a web-publishing platform that makes it easy for everyday users to publish content on the web. More than 17 percent of all websites in the world are powered by WordPress, and with its quick setup, ease of use, and growing community it's truly a platform everyone can benefit from.

* Become a Salesforce Developer: Tuesdays and Thursdays, Oct. 1 - Dec. 10, 6 to 9 p.m., $3,995: This hands-on course takes Salesforce administrators from defense to offense in taking care of the needs of their users and organizations. You will learn when to (and when not to) extend the "click and configure" capabilities of the platform. You'll understand custom Apex and Visualforce development techniques that quickly and effectively create the custom solutions your customers need. By the end of this course, you'll have a more powerful set of Salesforce.com implementation skills and be ready to provide the technical and strategic guidance necessary to handle almost any business request with Salesforce.com.

Grand Circus is a training institute in downtown Detroit on a mission to elevate the tech community. Whether it's training, co-working or events, Grand Circus offers it all under one tent. Based in the historic Broderick Tower, Grand Circus' space was designed to inspire collaboration and create the next big idea. For more information, visit www.grandcircus.co.
