Systems in Motion isn't wasting any time breaking into the Ann Arbor-area market.

The newest darling of the Silicon Valley IT start-up world chose Ann Arbor to make its first major investment earlier this fall. Today it will hold an information session about its Entry Level Training Program for the IT industry at Ann Arbor SPARK's East Incubator in downtown Ypsilanti, 215 W. Michigan Ave.

The program is working with Michigan Works! to help people who have been laid off, are about to lose their jobs, or in households making $40,000 a year or less to get a foot in the door in the growing IT industry. The training sessions will be held from November through January and they come with a good likelihood of future employment.

"They're basically recruiting with the understanding that the people going through the training will more than likely be hired," says Elizabeth Parkinson, vice president of marketing and communications with Ann Arbor SPARK.
