Microsoft program for teaching basic tech skills
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer thinks that technology can help get us out of the present financial mess. To that end, Microsoft has announced a training program. Seattle P-I reports:
Microsoft Corp. said Sunday that in response to the economic crisis it would sponsor an initiative to help train up to two million people in basic technology skills.
Pamela Passman, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of global corporate affairs, announced the program at a meeting of the National Governor’s Association in Washington D.C.
Microsoft has created a new portal with the somewhat pretentious name, Microsoft Elevate America. It is described:
So, Microsoft will create a new Web portal where visitors can learn what skills they lack and easily find resources to learn them.
On the site, they will also be able to access various Microsoft online training programs, in order to learn some basic skills, such as how to use the Internet, send e-mail and create a resume, according to a Microsoft statement.
