Microsoft’s Elevate America Website Launched
With today’s struggling economy, many consumers are facing the reality of being forced to look for new employment. The unfortunate thing is that many consumers were in the same job for many years, and possibly feeling a little overwhelmed with how technologically advanced jobs are requiring people to now be. In an effort to help consumers learn all aspects of the Microsoft Office products, and other technical skills to be successful in today’s workforce, Microsoft has launched their Elevate America website.
This website is a great idea and something that I truly believe can be a great tool for anyone looking for a new job, or someone currently working and wanting to learn more. There are various certification courses, Microsoft Office tutorials, E-learning courses and information about classes available in their area.
According to the website, these are the things they are looking to accomplish:
* Expanded access to basic technological literacy and skills training.
* Intermediate technology skills training courses, instructor-led and online, plus selected certification exams.
* Access to a new web portal that will help guide individuals to training that positions them for success in the economy today, and tomorrow.
Leadpile Lead Exchange believes that knowing all this information is very important in any career. Having a company like Microsoft offer these services is a sign that everyone is trying to contribute their part in helping our nation get back on their feet. Knowledge is power!
