TRAINING

 

Hands-on training classes designed specifically for nonprofit staff

  • All staff and volunteers of area non-profit organizations are encouraged to attend our hands-on software training and technology management seminars. 

  • Classes cover very specific topics and last only 3 hours. Quickies courses are specialized 1- to 2-hour sessions.

  • Hands-on training is limited to 12 students per class. (Note: Some classes may have additional size restrictions.) Classes fill quickly, so be sure to register early. 

  • All classes are held at Info Line (703 S Main St #211, Akron); directions are at www.infolineinc.org/directions.htm.

  • Cost is $60 per person. Quickies courses are $35 per person.

  • The registration deadline is 2 business days before the class. Payment must be made by the date of the class; checks, cash, and Mastercard/Visa are accepted. Cancellations must be received by 4:00 pm two days before the class in order to be eligible for a refund. 

  • Those who register for a class but do not attend will be charged for that class.

  • If you attended a class previously in the past year, you can repeat the class at no charge.

  • Please remember that all of these dates are tentative and subject to change.

  • Project Connect now offers classes "on demand": just call or e-mail to have your name added to the list, and as soon as we have enough folks registered, we'll schedule the class. This way, we can run whatever classes you need, when you need them!
