Saylor Academy and the National Amateur Fall Baseball Federation (NAFBF) have recently partnered to offer flexible free online learning opportunities for NAFBF’s communities.
Saylor Academy is a non-profit initiative that believes that education should be accessible to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. As part of our mission, we partner with organizations worldwide to help educate communities so they can improve their lives. Saylor partners with universities as well as nonprofits, NGOs and government entities, to promote skill development worldwide
In support of this mission, NAFBF and Saylor Academy will leverage Saylor Academy’s self-paced, free courses to help students build critical 21st century skills. These courses earn free certificates that students can display on LinkedIN, post on Facebook or Twitter or link to in a website or personal portfolio.
NAFBF and Saylor Academy both recognize that people face complex barriers to education and skills, not least of which are time and financial resources. This partnership allows students to develop key skills on-demand, and will help them become even more competitive once they enter the marketplace.
”We are truly excited to partner with the National Amateur Fall Baseball Federation, and play a key role in enriching young leaders,” says Dr. Sheila Jagannathan, Deputy Executive Director for Global Strategy at Saylor Academy. “Our self paced courses teaching leadership and professional skills will support NAFBF’s mission to produce well-rounded student athletes.”
“ NAFBF is pleased to partner with Saylor Academy, and promote the development of career skills along with our programs encouraging well rounded student-athletes. The foundation of every successful partnership is not just shared vision but shared values.”
