- DESCRIPTION: DATAPRO is a data processing course that will give a user the
- needed input skills to qualify for a good job. The program has a warm-up,
- on-screen numeric keypad for learning number input, a data-input program, and
- two computer employment tests that companies use to find qualified people.
- DATAPRO is an excellent program for use by teachers of data processing! The
- registered (paid-for) version has five additional types of data input programs
- and an action game that greatly motivates learning the keypad, making it fun
- and extremely easy. --MORE--

-
- DATAPRO has helped thousands of people. This is a program I wrote for my
- computer classes before I retired, and I did not expect it to be used so
- extensively by individuals, colleges, continuing education departments,
- training institutes, companies and corporations, etc. I often shake my head
- in disbelief when I think about it.
-
- Another thing I never considered was that people are starting up new
- businesses by using DATAPRO to test the data input skills of prospective
- employees sent to them by small and medium-sized companies that do not have
- data-input testing departments. Reports generated by the program are then
- given to the companies so they can make hiring decisions. The new business
- owners find that companies keep referring people to them for testing. Done
- right, the procedure generates a lot of repeat business. Businesses will want
- to work with you because you will help them find good, skilled employees--and
- you will be saving them time and effort. Either the prospective employees or
- the referring companies pay you fees for the testing service. It might make a
- good business to start from your own home. Once people get a registered SITE
- license of DATAPRO, they mail out information about their service once a
- month, every month, to companies whose names and addresses they get from the
- phone directory's Yellow Pages. They also advertise in newspapers. (A
- DATAPRO SITE license is necessary for a business.)
-
- I mention all this just in case you are looking for a new business to
- start.
-
- At any rate, I hope you greatly benefit from DATAPRO!
