Absorb Software Teams Up with The Exodus Road to Provide Anti-Trafficking Training for the Public and Law Enforcement

Using Absorb LMS, The Exodus Road launched its TraffickWatch Academy training platforms to help viewers understand human trafficking and how they can personally combat this crime in their communities.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Absorb Software announced today a collaboration with The Exodus Road, an anti-trafficking nonprofit based in Colorado. Absorb is providing gift-in-kind donations, including services for and use of the company's award-winning Learning Management System (Absorb LMS), to support the organization's efforts to stop human trafficking around the world through education and training resources.

"Learning is an essential step to solving real-world problems," says Kimberly Williams, Absorb Software CEO. "At Absorb, we're proud to partner with The Exodus Road.

"Action starts with understanding. We're so grateful for Absorb's support of this mission."
