Getting Ready for the Big Event

The coming week Dr. Karie Willyerd, Executive Vice President, Sun Learning Services is in India for a short visit and on one of the days during her stay in India, she would be performing the inauguration of Sun Learning Center, Bangalore

Sun Learning Center, Bangalore has three classrooms, equipped with new Sun boxes and would host all Sun Training that would happen in Bangalore. Though the activities at Sun Learning Center began since the beginning of Year 2007, an official “ribbon cutting” inauguration is scheduled to be on 12th of March 2007 at 1800 hrs.

For the invitees of this event, I have managed to “steal” a route map from Vaishnavi (which she prepared of course) that could turn out to be really handy.

In case if you are not making it to the Sun Learning Center for some reason or the other, and still would wish to see how the center looks like, I have some photographs for you.

What you see on the left side of this boring commentary of mine is (of course self-explanatory) the reception. The thing that grabs one’s attention the most in this part of the center is the huge flyer about Java. A security personnel remains round-the-clock here, which gives the training participants the flexibility to work till late night and even to sneak in during the early hours of morning (that’s unlikely though:)).

Right to the right of this text is the corridor that would take you to the pantry of Sun Learning Center. That’s where the home made tea and snacks are served twice a day: one in the morning and one towards the end of the day. And on the way to the pantry, you would hit Vaishnavi, who would be holding a phone most of the time, talking to the client discussing about the prospects of various Sun Courses that are available in the Education Catalog.

The classrooms (of different capacity) at Sun Learning Center are generally occupied on all weeks of a month, except on very rare occasions. Equipments that are required in a modern training room are already in place in all the classrooms, but at the same time proper efforts are being made to improve upon it, ensuring a smooth, comfortable and hassle free training sessions for the training participants. Certain things take time to touch nearness to perfection.

Last but not the least, there is a refrigerator in the pantry, loaded with variety of soft drinks ready to be emptied and that’s a luxury you would hardly see in most of the training locations. Whether the consumption of soft drinks is good for health is something that is debatable and that of course is a different story, beyond the scope of discussion in here.

Many a number of people are actively involved in improving upon all aspects of Sun Learning Center here in Bangalore. I would wish to congratulate them for the good job done so far. On the other hand, I also don’t deny the fact that improvements can be made in all departments to make the learning experience in Sun Learning Center better and the best. Trust me, it is being done. And before I leave, I would wish to express my heart felt thanks to all those who extended their cooperation during the training programs in understanding the limitations of a training room in its transition phase and also to provide with valuable suggestions that are being considered on a very serious note. It’s only going to get better; day after day.

Welcome, Dr Karie to the Sun Learning Center, Bangalore, India
