One would think that organizations and companies that support vouchers would use them themselves, instead of relying, as they all do, on directed or in-house training. Until now, looking for a company that actually did this would be futile. But according to this article, Microsoft is offering free online learning to customers in the form of vouchers. This program, offering 18,500 vouchers, is a very small-scale experiment in the system. But it will be interesting to see how the pilot works. If so, it could then be scaled to serve the corporate community generally. It would be good to have a working example of such a program before converting the entire public education system to it, as voucher advocates urge.
