Aleck
Johnson with EdTech Strategies will present a two-part informational
webinar on the E-Rate program. This will not be a step-by-step
training, but
will cover the changes and challenges in applying for the E-Rate
discount.
Part 1, on November 30, will highlight
the strengths and weaknesses of the E- rate Productivity Center (EPC)
for application management. It will also cover the bidding and Form 470
processes to start the FY2018 application cycle.
Part 2, on December 19, will help participants on the next steps of the
application process, and point out stumbling blocks or pitfalls that may
emerge due to the constantly changing rules and interpretations.
Your progress will be steadier and less stressful if you are familiar
with the current status of the program and the tools you'll be using, so
don’t miss it! Webinars will be recorded and the archives will be
available only until January 25, 2018.
