New: Online Courses Available to Enhance Your Nonprofit Management Skills
Are you looking to improve your skills in effectively leading your organization? Thanks to a new partnership with the Society for Nonprofit Organizations (SNPO), you can take online courses in these essential topics: resource development, social entrepreneurship, board governance, marketing, strategic alliances, mission-based management, strategic planning, and volunteer management.

e-skills360°: 10 Course Registrations
The ICWFD product includes 10 course registration PIN codes, each of which allows one person to take one course. Training is self-paced, and students can learn at their own convenience, using any computer connected to the Internet. Many courses address recent versions of technology systems and software, and some are designed to prepare students to take industry certification exams. Orgs may use these PINs for their own staff or assign them to clients, constituents, or volunteers. Libraries may make them available to their patrons. This is the first time e-Skills360° courses have been accessible by U.S. and Canadian nonprofit organizations and libraries.
