History Micro Tech Training Center, currently Eastern International College, was established in 1990 to provide customized computer training to students referred by local corporations. Initially, the school, located in East Orange, New Jersey, occupied two classrooms and trained 15 students in job-related software applications. Shortly thereafter, the school was approved by the New Jersey Department of Education, expanding its course offerings to include customized training for local companies in coordination with the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). As training offered by the school met with success in terms of job placement and workplace satisfaction, student enrollment increased. Evening and Saturday classes were added to accommodate the demands of the working group. In 1995, after five years of demonstrated ability to train and place individuals in computer-related occupations, the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) granted initial accreditation to Micro Tech Training Center. In 1996, the school began offering financial aid to qualified students. In 1998, the school relocated to the business district of Newark, New Jersey, where PC Networking and PC Applications Specialist Programs were included in computer course offerings. In 2000, continuous evaluation, monitoring, and surveying of the school resulted in a second move to a more modern facility, located at 3000 JFK Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey, where the main campus stands today. Decline in employment opportunities in 2001 caused a paradigm shift in program offerings and in 2002 the school launched its first ever healthcare training programs. The school has grown to offer allied health programs in Diagnostic Medical Ultrasound Technology, Massage Therapy, and Medical Assistance, with Criminal Justice offered between the years of 2005 and 2008. In addition to these certificate-granting programs, Eastern International College began offering an Associate Degree in Diagnostic Medical Sonography in 2009 and an Associate Degree in Medical Assistant in 2010. Eastern International College is growing and will continue to offer more allied health programs to meet ever increasing demands of the workplace. In 2004, the Belleville Branch Campus opened to better serve students in the Newark area and the suburbs north and west of Newark. Call 1-888-363-6002 for a complete brochure on our programs |   |
