Microsoft offers computer training to unemployed

SOFTWARE GIANT MICROSOFT has been giving away more than 30,000 vouchers to help unemployed people in Washington state to get new computer skills.

The vouchers will entitle them to attend computer classes for free and take Microsoft certification exams at no or low cost.

Ironically, many of the people in Washington state will be unemployed thanks to Microsoft ending temporary contracts or laying off workers. We doubt if they will need Volish certification.

Seattle Governer Chris Gregoire praised the Vole for helping the nation come out of the recession stronger. µ
