EXECUTIVE SEMINAR
GET YOUR SHARE OF E-RATE 2.0 FUNDING!
Please join us on Thursday, October 23 in downtown Pittsburgh for a valuable seminar designed for IT professionals and administrators in K-12 education. The federal government has launched the new E-Rate 2.0 program (July 2014) to provide funds to accelerate the transformation of education in the United States. These funds are available for eligible public schools districts and independent private schools to help close the "WiFi Gap". The government expects E-Rate 2.0 to expand WiFi to more than 10 million students in 2015 alone.
