Why Workshops?

Nicole Ouellette has a teaching certification. But instead of teaching high school students about atomic orbitals and how solar cells work, Nicole uses similar skills to give workshops about technology and internet topics like CMS websites (WordPress and Joomla), email marketing, social media, and more. Bonus is you won’t have to hide bad grades from your parents or serve detentions for talking during class.

Besides being useful in terms of information, people actually like coming to these workshops. Here’s what some people have said about attending these technology workshops:

“People were very grateful for the information you covered. Your presentation was clear, well organized and packed full of useful information. Thank you very much!” – Glenon Friedmann, Women Work and Community

“Educational, fun & informative – I loved your Social Media 101 class!” – Christina Hastings, Co-Owner of Leary’s Landing Irish Pub

“Nicole’s public speaking and instructional presentations are well prepared and charismatic, a good complement to her technical skills.” – Hugo Diaz, Mobile Web Developer

Technology training that won’t make you fall asleep or throw your computer out a window… really, it’s possible!

Why do you train yourself out of a job?

The reality is in this business climate, some business owners and non-profits are looking at resources within their organization to get more work done. These resources are often employees who are interested in doing more but don’t have the necessary training.

Rather than signing up for a long term class, taking a free webinar with hundreds of other people, or having to read some ‘for dummies’ book, employers can send people to personalized trainings right here in Maine. Affordable professional development for you and your employees, saving time and money by doing it yourself, and having someone to contact in case you need help are all benefits to the businesses coming to these courses. Breaking Even Communications wants to help you do more, whether that’s doing it for you or showing you how.

We’re not training ourselves out of jobs, by getting more people interested in being online in Maine, we’re building capacity for our business too. See, we’re not that nice. *wink*
