Serebra Connect offering free assessments

It looks like Serebra Connect is offering free assessment exams when you sign up for their mailing list at www.serebraconnect.com.

When you sign up, it presents you with a list of topics, including Microsoft Office, graphic design, communications, etc. You choose one, and it lets you write the exam for free. When you pass, you become qualified to become a freelancer/provider on Serebra Connect.

I signed up for a ASP.NET web programming exam - I could be a Serebra Connect qualified seller!

Very neat. Looking forward to November 1st.

Serebra Connect is on the way

It looks like Serebra Connect is on the way. A neat idea to take an established e-learning platform and expand it to help people find paying work doing small tasks on an outsource or freelance basis. There was an announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative regarding free "skills assessments".

While attending the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), a non-partisan project of the William J. Clinton Foundation, Ted Moorhouse, Chairman and CEO of Serebra said, "Through Serebra Connect, we will give them [people in developing countries] the opportunity to use their education to earn income - without leaving their home countries.

This is exciting stuff!
