TechFoundation and Smartforce Join Forces to help bridge the Digital Divide
“Today, Internet applications like e-Learning are employed to great effect for corporate businesses. Historically, however, Nonprofits have not had the same available resources as corporations– that is capital, expertise and access to technology, which has caused a “Nonprofit Digital Divide,” says David Altshuler, CEO at TechFoundation. “With the TechFoundation and SmartForce partnership, we’ve created a powerful channel to help Nonprofit organizations become more effective organizations through technology and add even greater value to society.” TechFoundation’s TechMarketplace™ is a program that establishes relationships with global high-tech partners to provide NPOs and Nonprofit Technology Assistance Providers (NTAP) with easy access to a wide range of thoughtfully selected, affordable technology goods and services. Through TechMarketplace, NPOs can now affordably utilize and manage powerful Web-based learning applications to create better, more efficient employee training and education, lower cost and increase overall productivity. eLearning programs and services range from IT certification and technology training to strategic planning, budgeting, project management, business and performance analysis, to interpersonal skills training.
For more information on TechMarketplace and eLearning solutions for Nonprofits, please visit www.TechFoundation.org or contact TechFoundation at 617.354.7500.
Additional details on how to register for e-learning will be posted in our August issue and on our website.
