Hondros College was present at the Hollywood Casino Columbus press conference today when general manager, Ameet Patel spoke to the lucky first group of individuals who received a contingent job offer to work for the new Casino. In order to be selected, candidates successfully complete a process consisting of submitting an application online, being selected for and then scheduling the interview, completing a panel interview session with others in a group and completing other tests including a math test.
Hollywood Casino Columbus will be conducting these interviews and selecting candidates to receive a contingent job offer all week. Hondros College will be on site at the Casino Training Center all week helping to facilitate this process. Good luck to all those who have applied and congratulations to those who will be selected to launch an exciting new career path!
Anytime we launch a new program at Hondros College of Business we are very excited to be able to offer new courses to bring targeted, career specific training to the communities we serve. This past Thursday was no exception as we opened up to the public to share about our most recent new program in Cincinnati, our Casino Dealer Training Courses.
For those of you who aren’t aware, the Casino industry is very new to Ohio and with it comes the availability of hundreds of well paying careers, specifically as a Casino Dealer. As you can imagine, competition is very high for these positions and that is why Hondros College of Business created new dealer training courses. While these courses are not affiliated with the Casino in Cincinnati, completing them will give you the training and background needed to become a professional dealer and be one step ahead of others who are applying for the position who have no training.
We had a great turn out in Cincinnati and met so many wonderful people who are looking to improve their lives and advance their careers by enrolling in our introductory courses. We have included a few photos from the event below. For those of you who are interested in learning more about Hondros College of Business’s Casino Dealer Training programs please visit us online at http://www.hondros.edu/CasinoGaming/Cincinnati.aspx or call us at 1.888.Hondros.

It is our pleasure to announce the recipient of the February 2012 Hondros College Instructor of the month as Robert Neal. Bob Neal who is a Broker with Comey and Shepherd Realtors based in Cincinnati, Ohio has been a real estate instructor at Hondros since 1992. He has enjoyed an impressive real estate career working in 11 different states across the country when working with Coldwell Banker. When he decided to stay based out of Cincinnati he opened a Re/Max office and grew to over 7 offices and 440 agents becoming #1 in size and production at the time. In 2010, he became a Broker with Comey and Shepherd and enjoys helping agents supersize their career!
His vast experience and knowledge makes him a true asset to the students of Hondros College. When asked, Bob said that one of his great joys of teaching has been to see students who were uncomfortable with math grasp the concepts and become very successful in their career. He shared that one of the best rewards has been the long term relationships he has built with the students through mentoring them to reach their goals.
When he is not in the office or the classroom, Bob enjoys spending time with his four children. He has three boys and a girl. Bob enjoys traveling with two of his sons to root them on in their travel baseball and hockey teams. He also enjoys photography as a hobby and when asked what he photographs he said “sports of course!”
Hondros College considers Bob Neal such an important asset. He was recently nominated and awarded the 2011 Hondros College School of Business Faculty Instructor of the Year Award. This distinguished award was presented to Bob Neal for many reasons but most impressively due to the fact that he averaged a 4.96 out of 5 when rated by over 300 of his students. Congratulations Bob! We are so proud you are a faculty member of Hondros College!

Thank you to the Columbus Board of Realtors for writing this great article about the recipients of the 7th Annual John G. Hondros and Linda Hondros scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to two recipients who aspire to take real estate pre-licensing courses in Central Ohio. You can read the article by the Columbus Board of Realtors here.
I took a moment to reach out to our two scholarship recipients, Brigid Davis and Courtney Chapman, now that they have been attending courses here at Hondros College. Brigid Davis will be finishing her courses next Wednesday and will be taking the state exam shortly after. She has signed on with RE/MAX Capital Centre and is very excited to get started in her real estate career working with prospective buyers and those who are looking to sell their home. When I asked Brigid about her experience at Hondros she said “It was awesome! The instructors were great and very knowledgable. I couldn’t imagine taking courses anywhere else.” Courtney Chapman is halfway through his courses and will be an agent with Faulkner Realty after he passes his exam. Courtney said “I am thoroughly enjoying the classes and instructors. I am really looking forward to completing the courses and getting my license.” Good luck to Brigid and to Courtney! You have a bright future ahead!
