WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many of our unemployed adults are finding it difficult to get jobs due to lack of job skills training, which can be expensive and unaffordable.
To address this serious national problem, the National Education Foundation (NEF), the national non-profit leader in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education and job prep training, announces a new national initiative to help 100,000 unemployed or underemployed adults prepare for the 21st century job-market through its certification partnership program with the State University of New York (SUNY).
NEF is offering tuition-free training in IT, Business, Desktop and Management Web-based courses and live-instant mentoring. The programs vary from the very basic to the very advanced, and include several industry certifications in IT and Project Management.
