ROCKVILLE, Md., June 8, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Secure IT, the federal division of staffing firm COMSYS Services LLC (COMSYS), announced today the addition of Books 24x7 to its comprehensive consultant e-Learning program.

"With technology transforming rapidly, we work hard to provide consultants with the resources to sharpen their technical skills so they can continue to best help our clients achieve their strategic objectives," said Bob Merkl, president and COO of Secure IT.

Our consultants regularly invest time in improving their skills and furthering their understanding of the latest technology and upgrades, which translates into greater adaptability and flexibility within the workforce."
The e-Learning program includes self-paced training with simulations and screen shots, as well as customized coursework for certifications. The six key IT training areas include Web design, operating systems and server technology, desktop computer skills, enterprise database system solutions, Internet and network technologies, and software development.
