NEF Offers One Million IT, Business Training Scholarships Job Seekers, Employees Earning up to $50,000, Students and Teachers Eligible
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) February 25, 2008 -- Dr. Appu Kuttan, Chairman of the National Education Foundation (NEF) CyberLearning, the global nonprofit leader in digital education, and winner of the Global Digital Literacy Champion Award given to the person making the most contributions globally to bridging the digital divide, announced today a nationwide visionary initiative to provide scholarships to a million low and middle income individuals affected by the oncoming recession. All students, teachers, job seekers and those earning less than $50,000 a year are eligible.
According to Dr. Kuttan, "Fear of recession is forcing people, especially low and middle income individuals, small businesses and others, to cut back on training, which is normally expensive. At the same time, the U.S. Labor Department is predicting a shortage of two million IT workers by 2010. An obvious solution is to make job skills training affordable to our low and middle income individuals. That is the rationale for this important initiative."
Former President Bill Clinton commends CyberLearning, "You are helping to empower tomorrow's leaders. I salute you for your ongoing commitment for creating a better and stronger America."
The One Million Scholarships Program's goal is to alleviate the recession concerns by offering free high quality Web-based IT (includes 30 certifications), Business, Testprep such as SAT, K-12 Math, Science and Technology education courses to students and teachers as well as unemployed and underemployed individuals. The course packages, each containing 100-400 courses and each worth $400-$800, are offered free, and the user pays a nominal registration fee of $30 for any course package. One could take these courses to learn new skills or improve the learned skills or prepare for certifications in Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe, CompTia, Oracle, Office Applications, Networking, Programming, Web Design, Project Management etc. Please see the course catalog containing 2,500 courses grouped into 30-plus course packages at www.cyberlearning.org/coursecatalog.
To apply for the scholarship, just visit www.cyberlearning.org/scholarships. You can be taking the courses you need within two minutes! It is as easy as ABC!
