Default Microsoft Elevate America - free courses/certifications
Just thought I would share this info to the people like myself who had not heard about it. Microsoft is partnering with different states to offer vouchers for E-Learning courses and select certification exams at no cost to you. I plan on taking as many of the classes as possible. Just thought I would share.

Here is a link to their website.

Ann, what an incredible opportunity and resource - thank you for sharing this. I have no doubt once people realize what's being offered more members will be jumping at the chance to expand their skill sets.

Ann thanks for the information. I checked the site and CT is not listed as one of the states that is participating in Microsoft Elevate America free courses/certifications.

With that said, the more I think about it, it may be due to the fact that many libraries in the state offer Microsoft courses for free (courses range from beginners to advanced MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel).

To those who are beginning or looking for refresher courses, please don't forget to check with libraries in your area to see what they have to offer. I know in CT some of the libraries not only offer software training but also have business development workshops. It's also another great way of networking
