With the rise of free courses online, the US Government should create internet based course materials and tests which will allow US citizens to become certified in various subjects, such as HTML, typing, and so on, so that they may be better prepared for the business world of the 21st century. With the job crisis as it is this could help a lot of people become technologically literate and get onto their feet.
