Microsoft announced a new initiative called Elevate America that will provide up to 2 million people access to free and low cost resources that help workers "get the skills, training and certifications needed to compete for the jobs of today and tomorrow."
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.
