AARP, or the American Association of Retired Persons  

Green Thumb 
Green Thumb, a national nonprofit corporation best known as our country's 
leader in the field of older worker employment and training, has found the lack 
of computer skills to be a significant barrier to employment for older 
Americans, many of whom missed out on the computer revolution. 

For more than three decades, Green Thumb has preached the gospel that a 
person is never too old to work, learn, or start a new career. Green Thumb 
and Microsoft Skills 2000 have partnered to bring this philosophy to life for 
hundreds of older Americans seeking to enter the information technology (IT) 
field. The two companies have forged an innovative alliance to address the 
growing IT skills shortage by training limited-income individuals age 55 and 
older as Desktop Support Specialists, Technical Support Specialists, Help 
Desk Specialists, and Network Administrators.
