Adult and Senior Citizen Technology Program
Our "One-on-One" program will involve primarily adults and seniors. The One-on-One program is just that; services provided One-on-One. These services offer more personal assistance and individual attention than our traditional classroom settings. This concept does not eliminate the classroom training, but instead provides additional assistance when needed. This program is structured in a way to ensure that its participants stay abreast of their designated course work and offer a comfortable, relaxed learning environment where seniors may keep pace with modern technology. The seasoned One-on-One participants can select from our course offerings or recreational computer activities such as:
Creating Greeting Cards
Making Fliers and signs
Pay Bills online
Communicate with Kids and Grand Kids
and more
The goal of this program is for seniors to get over the fear of computing and develop the ability and eagerness to take on new computing tasks and activities.
The One-On-One program will also be offered to socially and economically disadvantaged businesses. The goal is to help small business owners succeed in operating their business with the use of computers.
