Do you need sharper Microsoft Office skills to boost your productivity at work, broaden your job options or advance your career?
If so, Microsoft® Elevate America in Florida can help. Workforce Florida and Microsoft recently partnered to launch Elevate America in Florida, providing job seekers and businesses access to 40,000 vouchers for no-cost Microsoft technology training and certification exams.
Each training voucher is redeemable for one E-Learning course or Certification exam in one of three categories:
E-Learning: These online courses are self-paced and train participants to use Microsoft 2003 or 2007 Office “learning collections” that include products such as Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word.
Microsoft Certification Exam vouchers: These vouchers entitle holders to sit for Certification exams in Microsoft 2007 Office products such as Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word. All Certification exams must be proctored at Certiport Testing Centers.
IT Professional vouchers: These vouchers entitle holders to E-Learning courses designed for IT professionals or individuals interested in IT professional learning courses.
Vouchers must be activated by Aug. 21 and will be available through Aug. 21 or while supplies last. E-Learning vouchers are good for 12 months after the date of activation; certification exam vouchers must be activated and used by Aug. 21. There is no cost for the E-Learning and Certification exam vouchers; however, in some instances, a small proctoring fee may be charged by a Certiport Testing Center, where exams are administered.
