No-Cost Microsoft Training Vouchers

Through Microsoft® Elevate America, 40,000 vouchers for no-cost training and certifications are available to Floridians for a limited time. This initiative provides an opportunity for Florida workers to improve their technology skills, productivity and value. Businesses and organizations, including local governments, can benefit directly by encouraging their employees to upgrade their skills through free training. Each Elevate America training voucher is redeemable for one online course or certification exam. Vouchers must be activated by August 21 and will be available while supplies last. Additional information on the Florida vouchers and an application is available at http://elevateamerica.floridajobs.org.

Another academic year, another new beginning

Students have returned to school all over the state; most districts’ classes are already in full swing. But colleges follow a somewhat different pattern, and many, like mine, are just beginning today.

One of my nieces happily reported her return to her campus on Facebook™, her short post full of youthful enthusiasm and joy. On the campus of the University of Tampa, where I teach, students began wandering the campus (initially, many of them with their parents) on Tuesday last week. By Thursday, there wasn’t a parking space to be had.
