Online Education Preparation

The Education Fund offers a variety of options for getting an education online, such as tuition support and continuing education. Remote learning gives students the flexibility to take classes at any time and place that works for them. But for people who don’t really know how to use some of the most common computer tools and apps, opportunities are limited.

Don’t worry. The Education Fund offers a variety of classes to get you started and support your online learning skills and digital fluency:

  • Developing Basic Computer Skills: Navigating the Technological World
  • Microsoft Office Classes – Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook
  • Introduction to Online Learning

See below for more information or make an appointment with one of our counselors by logging into MyEdFund. They can answer all your questions about our classes and provide support with getting started.
