Microsoft has worked for years with other businesses and
community-based partners to broaden access to job opportunities
through information technology education and training. Elevate America
expands these efforts and provides immediate support in response to
the current economic crisis in partnership with others in the public
and private sector.
Elevate America has two main offerings, one available immediately and
one that will be provided in partnership with state governments
including those of Florida, New York and Washington.
A new online resource, located at
http://www.microsoft.com/ElevateAmerica, is available today. This new
Web site helps individuals understand what types of technical skills
they need for the jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities of today and
tomorrow, and resources to help acquire these skills. The Web site
provides access to several Microsoft online training programs,
including how to use the Internet, send e-mail and create a résumé, as
well as more advanced programs on using specific Microsoft
applications.
