Eliminating the Digital Divide

 

Increasing Computer Skills & Access

 

Low-income African Americans and others need computer access and training to counter the negative effects of the "Digital Divide". 

     

Computer access and training helps low-income clients become better prepared for preferred employment and/or increased job earnings.
