Portnov and his wife also own the Los Altos Software Testing House Inc., which offers quality assurance services to companies that need additional testing on their products. The Mountain View computer school also instructs students in job-searching and interviewing techniques. Because of the difference in cultures our students need to learn job-related skills. Raphael Wynd of Palo Alto's MySoftware Company has provided student internships for the past five months. The school is California-certified, and the course runs 20 weeks.
New classes start every three weeks.
More than 20 percent of students receive assistance from the Hebrew Free Loan Association. Many other Jewish groups, including synagogue auxiliaries, have also helped the students. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
